Oxbow Suffers Small Loss From Lightning Strikes
A thunderstorm caused a lightening strike on the Oxbow Agricultural Society pavilion at the fair grounds, slightly splintering doors and timbers but causing little damage. A separate incident at Wa Langrish’s home saw a fire from a surging electric current along telephone wires scorch woodwork but do no further harm. A second severe storm flooded the area with unusually heavy rain, aiding the feed situation and potato crop, while H D Pedlar’s chimney was damaged but remained upright.
