Though a storm had been ex pected by the great amount of thun der and lightening throughout the day, nothing akin to what actually hap pened was anticipated. Coming with u exceptionally black cloud the hall fell thick and fast stones from the size ot a pea to others almost as large as hen eggs soon covered the ground. A slackening up for a few minutes took place then another downpour of stones fell even thicker, faster and larger. The storm seemed to pass In streaks, as in one section there would be more damage and more hail ' than In others. Immediately through Loulsburg seemed to be a light streak I as compared with this sections on both sides. In many places it was stated, hall stones covered the ground to a depth of three to four Inches, while it was nothing out of the ordi nary to find w"here the stones had drifted to a depth of two feet. In many sections windows, even the crossSectlons of the sash weretrroken out, tops of housef beaten till they leaked profusely. | it was the worse storm ever seen In the recollection o( our oldest in habitants at any time more especially in February. It is practically impos sible to estimate the property dam age. The storm seemed general, hav ing reached all sections that we have heard from even to many miles, tre limits not yet having been ascertain ed. Speaking of the storm in Raleigh and the unusualness of the storm the News and Observer says: The most unusual hail storm on record hit Raleigh yesterday after noon at 6:50 o'clock. Hall fell con tinuously for five minutes. The grounc was covered with the hail. But once before in the 45 yeari i that Raleigh weather bureau has beet established has hail fallen in Febru i ary. Then the precipitation was ven much less than yesterday. The only February hall storm ol i record before yesterday was on Feb > ruary 25, 1906, slightly less than 2< > years ago.
