Thunderstorm and hail devastate Uxbridge and area
A violent hailstorm and hurricane-like gales sweep Uxbridge causing broken windows, damaged tiles, and injuries. Reports note hailstones seven to eight inches, birds killed, horses frightened, and property losses totalling in the Crown Inn yard. Other notices mention executions, pardons, and trials at various towns, with maritime and European war updates and royal entries in Naples.
