WIND WREAKS HAVOC DURING AUCKLAND STORM
ROOFING IRON CARRIED 300 YA ~
(Special to the “ Star.”) AUCKLAND. September 25 One resident stated that his house rocked like a ’plane in a high wind and he expected momentarily that the house would be blown from its foundations. The wind drove in through the ventilator of another house and lifted many sheets of iron into the open paddocks three hundred yards away. The whole suburban area along the seafiont was exposed to the gale, which raged during the night, but the tornado was confined to a strip a quarter of a mile wide. A milkman and his assistant were working in a shed when in an adjoining garage a wall of solid timber (15ft by lift) was torn away. The rainfall at Auckland for September is already 6.65 inches.
