  1. A Great Thunder

    Share Share Post
    On the 14th of August in the year 1914, there was a terrific thunder storm and rainfall.
    The rivers overflowed, and the roads were flooded. The people had to walk on the ditches the next day.
    The lightning burned hay, and hurt cattle, and horses, nobody could light an electric light that night, because the lightning would effect it.
