Storm and lightning devastate hamlet and cafe
In a violent thunderstorm a large stove was struck by lightning near a cafe in Litchfield, causing fire and damage. Joseph Young was killed at the scene, while Curtis Chewt of Andham was also hurt. A storm later reported across the area describes frequent sharp lightning and flames, with seven people in a house burned and two men, Martin Wilcox and James Raytes, killed instantly. One woman was rescued from the same house, and a house belonging to Mr. Besting was burned with several families likely displaced.
