Hicks Weather Guess For The Month Of May
Rev Hicks, the St Louis weather prophet, predicts a stormy May with storms culminating on the 4th and 5th, continued cloudy and rainy spells, and possible frosts northward around the 5th to 8th. He foresees a period of seismic strain from the 10th to the 16th with earthquake shocks worldwide, followed by a change to cooler weather and frosts near the 12th to 16th. A storm period centers on the 22nd, with very high temperatures and hail including a possible tornado in scattered localities, then another reactionary storm on the 27th to 29th. The new moon on the 28th signals low barometer and a turn to very warm, with violent storms expected.
