Chimneys, Trees, Tobacco and Corn Crops Damaged at Longhurst, Aug. 26, 1925

Storm at Longhurst

Last Thursday afternoon at about 7 o’clock there was quite a severe wind storm at Longhurst. Thirty-seven chimneys were blown down, trees were uprooted and things blown around generally, but no serious damage done. West of Longchurch there was a considerable hail, which did considerable damage to the tobacco crop and corn, but no hail accompanied the wind at Longhurst.
