Read the following firsthand account of a hurricane.
ON Thursday July 28, 1748, occurred a disastrous hurricane at Pep-
perell, Mass. The people of the parish had finished eating their
dinner, and were going to their work in the hay fields, it being
about one o'clock, when the sound of thunder was heard. It came
nearer and grew louder until it was deafening, and the wind came rush-
ing across the fields and through the woods, increasing in force until it
seemed to be irresistible, and developing a rotary motion. Its course
was from the southwest to the northeast, though it slightly varied,
blowing sometimes to the right and again to the left. It continued
for fifteen minutes with such terrific power that the air was filled with
hay, leaves, limbs of trees and pieces of lumber. The wind swept
through the centre of the parish, not abating its force until it reached
the New Hampshire line, a short distance away.
