_N.B._ On Wednesday last, at about 5 o’clock P.M. a very violent
whirlwind seemed to concentrate within the vicinity of the house in
which the Balloon was suspended, in the suburbs of this city.--Such was
its violence, that it threw down and rent in pieces the said house, in
all directions; the fence around it was also destroyed. The Balloon was
suspended, and at this time was compleatly filled with atmospheric air;
by the fall and rending of the house the Balloon was totally separated
in several pieces, and otherwise so torn and rent as to be totally
irreparable. Such was the dreadful violence of the wind at this place,
and but for a moment, that a round tin gutter, which was well fastened
to the house adjoining, and which had resisted other storms, was totally
broken in several pieces, and part of it carried 50 yards distant. The
fence at this house was rent and torn very much. This storm was attended
with very violent thunder and lightning, which continued nearly an hour,
and a great quantity of rain. In the night following a very heavy storm
of thunder, lightning, very high wind, and rain.
It may very justly be presumed, that there was as great a quantity of
thunder and lightning in eight hours, as ever was experienced in so
short a time; and it evidently appears to have left a charming,
agreeable and healthy atmosphere, and, doubtless, great public good will
result therefrom.
