In answer to the Letter you sent me, relating to the late great Wind, the Calamity was universal about us, great numbers of vast tall Trees were blown down, and some broken quite asunder in the middle, tho' of a very considerable bigness. Two Wind-mills were blown down, and in one there happened a remarkable Providence, and the Story thereof may perhaps be worth your observation, which is, _viz._ That the Miller of _Charlewood_ Mill, not far from _Rigate_ hearing in the night time the Wind blew very hard, arose from his Bed, and went to his Mill, resolving to turn it toward the Wind, and set it to work, as the only means to preserve it standing; but on the way feeling for the Key of the Mill, he found he had left it at his Dwelling House, and therefore returned thither to fetch it, and coming back again to the Mill, found it blown quite down, and by his lucky forgetfulness saved his Life, which otherwise he most inevitably had lost. Several Stacks of Corn and Hay were blown down and shattered a very great distance from the places where they stood. Many Barns were also blown down, and many Stacks of Chimnies; and in the Town and Parish of _Rigate_, scarce a House but suffered considerable damage, either in the Tyling or otherwise. In the Parish of _Capel_ by _Darking_ lived one _Charles Man_, who was in Bed with his Wife and two Children, and by a fall of part of his House, he and one Child were killed, and his Wife, and the other Child, miraculously preserved, I am Rigate, _Sir, Your humble Servant_, Jan. 13. 1703/4. Tho. Foster. _From the City of_ Hereford, _this short Letter is very explicit._ _SIR_, The best account I can give of the Storm, is as follows; a Man and his Son was killed with the fall of his House, in the Parish of _Wormsle_, 2 miles off _Webly_ in _Herefordshire_. My Lord _Skudamoor_ had several great Oaks blown down in the Parish of _Hom_, 4 miles from _Hereford_; there were several great Elms blown down at a place called _Hinton_, on _Wye_ side, half a mile off _Hereford_, and some hundreds of Fruit Trees in other Parts of this County, and two Stacks of Chimnies in this City, and abundance of Tiles off the old Houses, _Hereford_, _Yours_, &c. _Jan._ 2. 1703. Anne Watts. _At_ Hawkhurst, _on the Edge of_ Sussex _and_ Kent, _11 Barnes were blown down, besides the Houses Shatter'd or Uncover'd._ _From_ Basingstoke _in_ Hampshire, _the following Letter is our Authority for the Particulars_. _SIR_,
