On Wednesday the 10th day of August
1920. violent storm o. rain came up from
the north west, accompanied with thunder
and lightning, it lasted about three quarters
of an hour, during which time | could see

The Earring confusion of the storm, and
the awful and terrific sound of the thunder,
and the vivid flashes of lightning rendered
the scene majestically grand and sublime in
the extreme, the rain assembled in foods so
that the roads were inundated with water,
