The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer of j the j 16th
says: . I J
The greatest storm of rain,1 light
ning and thunder ever known here
raged last night for. two hours. It
came all they way from1 Norfolk.
The wind at one time attained a
velocity of 32 miles an hour. There
was not a fraction of a second that
the lighning did not glare and the
roll of the thunder; never ceasing,
was accented by ear splitting
crashes, which made the 1 1 earth
quiver. The rain all fell in 35
minutes, and during that, time
nearly 3 inches descended. The
total rainfall was 3 21 inches. This
breaks all the bureau' records.
There were volleys of hail,! which
atone time continued for 15 min
utes.
