Abstract
Sept. 28, 1876. Tornado at Cowes.—A rapidly revolving whirlwind, looking like a waterspout or huge funnel, point downwards, approached the south-west shore of the Isle of Wight between Blackgang Chine and the Needles. It passed north-eastwards across the island and reached Cowes between 7 and 8 A.M., doing damage estimated at £10,000 to £12,000. Corn, light articles, and even bricks were dropped on vessels in the Solent, and on the mainland south of Titchfield.
