KILLED BY WHIRLWIND
A whirlwind, which swept across the Durham moors around Bishop Auckland and Stanhope on July 6, overturned a perambulator carrying a four-month-old baby. It was dead when picked up. The baby had been placed in its perambulator and left outside its parents’ house, A few minutes later its mother noticed that the perambulator had been blown over, and the child was found dead in its hood.
The day was perfectly calm, and the tempest sprang up suddenly with a (terrific roar. A wooden hut in a quarry was torn from the ground and carried some distance, and sheep and birds were hurled against a wall.
