AWFUL THUNDER•STORM.--- PENRITTI, JUNE 6.
Yesterday afternoon one of the most terrific andawful thunder
storms ever remembered, accompanied with hail, visited Pen-
rith and its neighbourhood. The morning was fine and clear,
the sun shining brightly, and scarcely a cloud was visible to
dim the horizon. Soon after noon the air became quite sul-
try and overpowering, and thunder was occasionally heard
at a distance. Abotit three o'clock the sky suddenly became
dark and lowering, and the clouds might be seen moving
through the air in different directions at a rapid rate. About
four o'clock daylight was almost shut out by the sudden darken-
ing and overhanging clouds, and about this time an awful
clap of thunder was newel, accompanied with lightning, and
atter a short interval one of the most severe and tremendous
bail chewers commenced that was ever witnessed by the
oldest inhabitant living in the neighbourhood, and continued
with unabated fury for upwards of half an hour ; the hail.
stones were the largest ever seen, being about the size of a
common Spanish nut ; and the streets were covered with
them for some time, until the rain fell in torrents. During
the continuance of this severe bail-storm the thunder
raged in one continuous and awful roll, no interval
between each peal intervening ; and the air seemed
literally in one electric flame of fire, flash suc-
ceeding flash without any intermission during the con-
tinuance of the storm. The fury of the tempest
did not last above an hour, but during that time most of the
streets of Peurith were sheets of water, and the dwelling
houses in low situations were mostly inundated. We have
not as yet heard of any damage done by the lightning, but
a considerable number of skylignts and windows in exposed
situations have been broken by the force and size of the hail-
stones, and nearly all the glass frames in the gardens of the
neighbourhood have been destroyed or damaged by the seve-
rity of the storm. It is supposed that great damage will
have been done to the standing; crops in the country by the
hail. storm; but as yet we have not heard the particulars.
It is only about a week since the mountains overhanging
Keswick were covered with snow, which seems very extra-
ordinary at this season of the year.
