Tornado Hits Coal-mining Township
DAMAGE IN NORTHERN NEW SOUTH WALES.
United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copy rich t. Received Tuesday, 10.25 p.m. SYDNEY, Feb. 5. A mild tornado struck the coalmining township of Bellbird, in the northern coalfields, to-day. One house was wrecked and the roofs of many more blown off. Timber and iron were hurled into the streets, and the inhabitants, terrified, rushed from their homes and were enveloped in dust from the debris falling about them. The disturbance lasted only a few minutes, but at Cessnock, three miles away, nothing more than a slight breeze was experienced.
