Storms blew in. The fiercest, on the afternoon of the 25th, has been described as a tornado or hurricane, and it might have been a derecho, for it ripped off the roofs of houses and helped squelch the fires in the city.
Indeed. Sorry, I missed it. But still, I think it has been downgraded to a storm of high winds as opposed to the so-called “Hurricane of Providence”. It sent the Redcoats running for dear life.
