Gastonia, Aug. 13—A wind which assumed the proportions of a small cyclone struck two miles south of Union church, in the southern edge of the county last night, destroying the kitchen of the home of R.P. Harrison, unroofing all of the outbuildings of the place, uprooting five trees, and breaking limbs off a number of others.
This cyclone came during the course of a freakish rainstorm which originated in the Crowders Mountain section, moved rapidly east to Little Mountain, striking directly south. It lasted but a few moments, but water was left standing in fields and gullies became gushing streams.
