Abstract

Wednesday December 26, 1764, I was awakened about 3 o'clock in the morning by violent squalls of wind, and a deluge of rain, accompanied with almost uninterrupted flashes of lightning, many of which ended in a bright purple. About 8, we had some distant claps of thunder; at 10, some more. Before 11, the rain ceased, and the sun shone forth. In less than half an hour after, we had a sudden shock, preceded by a rumbling noise, and succeeded by a dead calm of at least half an hour.
