What I know of the Winds in these Parts, are, that it broke down many Trees, and that the House of one _Richard Henden_; of _Charter-House_ on _Mendip_, call'd _Piney_, was almost blown down, and in saving their House, they, and the Servants, and others, heard grievous Cries and Scrieches in the Air. The Tower of _Compton Bishop_ was much shatter'd, and the Leads that cover'd it were taken clean away, and laid flat in the Church-Yard: The House of _John Cray_ of that place, received much and strange Damages, which together with his part in the Sea-wall, amounted to 500 _l._ Near the Salt-works in the Parish of _Burnham_, was driven five trading Vessels, as Colliers and Corn-dealers, betwixt _Wales_ and _Bridgwater_, at least 100 Yards on Pasture Ground. In the North Marsh, on the sides of _Bristol_ River, near _Ken_ at _Walton Woodspring_, the Waters broke with such Violence, that it came six Miles into the Country drowning much Cattel, carrying away several Hay-ricks and Stacks of Corn: And at a Farm at _Churchill_ near _Wrington_, it blew down 150 Elms that grew most in Rows, and were laid as Uniform as Soldiers lodge their Arms. At _Cheddar_ near _Axbridge_, was much harm done in Apple-trees, Houses, and such like; but what's worth remark, tho' not the very Night of the Tempest, a Company of wicked People being at a Wedding of one _Thomas Marshall_, _John_, the Father of the said _Thomas_, being as most of the Company was very Drunk, after much filthy Discourse while he was eating, a strange Cat pulling something from his Trenchard, he Cursing her, stoopt to take it up, and died immediately.
