Abstract
IT is evident from a correspondence in the Times of Friday, Saturday, and Monday last that a tornado of almost unexampled intensity and destructiveness swept over the Isle of Wight and Hampshire on the morning of Thursday, September 28. The storm, which appears to have come from a southerly direction, struck West Cowes about seven in the morning, thence crossed the Solent in a north-easterly direction, and, striking the opposite coast, near the entrance of Southampton Water, passed up Hampshire between Titchfield and Portsmouth at least as far as Meonstoke, which is about sixteen miles to the north-east of Cowes.
