  1. Two Great Thunder-Storms

    Share Share Post
    In the year 1909 a great thunder storm broke out in the month of August. The storm broke out about two o'clock. It did not do much harm. There was also another thunderstorm on the 14th of August in the year 1914. The storm came on about half past two in the evening and it lasted till three in the morning. There was not a second between the flashes of lightning. In order to sleep that night people had to blind up the windows.
