1866 - HAIL STORM
We regret to hear that a very severe hail storm fell in the neighbourhood of Gulgong on Saturday last. We were shown a quantity of the heads of wheat completely knocked out by the hail, and it is said that in some cases the destruction of wheat crops has been almost complete. Considerable damage was also done at Menah and Wilbertree. The storm missed Mudgee altogether, although on the outskirts hail fell; but not heavy enough to inflict any serious damage.
