GOWRIE CREEK. ( The path of this storm closely followed the Warwick rail line). The storm came from the southwest and brought trees and large branches to the ground. The hail was as large as hens eggs and smashed windows, beat bark from the tree and ruined vegetable and corn crops. The hurricane lasted 10 to 12 minutes and the width of its course was about a mile and a quarter. One house was totally destroyed , a new house was blown to pieces and the roofing iron was later found wrapped around a tree.
