Nelson Tornado NELSON, Wed., (P.A.).— A tornado, fortunately of minor intensity, passed across the eastern part of Nelson at five minutes past 10 this morning, causing some damage to buildings and several breaks in electric wires which resulted in power being off in parts of the town during the morning. One house at the comer of Manuka and Tasman Streets, owned by Mr W. T. Simpson had about a third of the roof blown off and the chimney blown over. That was the worst damage in the track of the storm.
