CYCLONIC STORM
VISITS TARANAKI FLIGHT OF TOOL-SHED (Special to THE SUN.) HAWERA, To-day. Taranaki and other parts pf the West Coast were visited by a mild cyclone on Saturday. A shed owned by Mr. Arthur Richardson, situated about two miles from the main road along Pitone Road, toward the beach, was lifted bodily up and carried clear over a hedge between six and eight feet high, and deposited in a neighbouring field. The shed was practically a new one about 20ft. by 10ft. and its removal left machinery and tools exposed to the elements. A private electric line connecting the main line and cowshed, was cut through by the shed in its flight and had to be repaired yesterday morning.
