A flash of lightning at Wo<sllongong damaged two buildings, stunned three persons, shook crockery off the shelves for nearly a quarter of a mile around and finally made contact with the earth after shattering an electric light meter. People in the vicinity described the rumblings and tremors as being like an earthquake. One man who was deafened and knocked insensible was not able to give a coherent account of what happened until 12 hours later.
