Hdw the Wind fate during the late Storm I cannot 
pofitively fej, it being exceflively dark all the while, and 
my Viine blown down alfo, when I could have feen. But 
by information from MillerSj and others that were forced 
to venture abroad, and by tny own guefs, I imagin it 
to have blown about S W, by S. or nearer to the Svin 
the beginning, and to veer about towards the Weft to- 
ward^ the end of the Storm, as far as W, S. W« ' 
The di^grees of the Wind's ftrength being not meaio- 
rable (that I know of, tho talk'd of) but by gucfs^ I thus 
determine, with refpeft to other Storms* On Feh. 7* 
169-. wab a tetrible Storm that did much damage^ This 
I nuipber 10 de^grees ; the Wiod. then W. N. W. vid. 
PL Ir. No. 261. Another remarkable Storm was Fek 
170». at which time was the greateft defcent cf the 
,5 ever known. This I number 9 degrees. But this laft 
of Nommher^ I number at leaft 1 5 degrees. 
As to the StAtions of the Barometer^ you have Mr Town* 
leys and mine in the following Table to be feen at one 
view. ' 
As to November 17th (whereon Mr 7l?2i?/^/e^ mentions a 
violent St oim in Oxford/hire) it was a Stormy Afternoon 
hmeuVpminJkr^ accotrpany'd with Rain, but not vio- 
lent, nor 5 very low. I^^wemkr the iith and nth had 
both hi^^h^r Winds and more Rain ^ and. the 5 was thofe 
days lower than even in thelaft Storm of November 26th. 
Tbuis, Sir^ I have given you the truefr account I caUj 
of whdt I thought moil to deferve obfervatidn, both be- 
forehand in the lateStorm» 1 could have added fome other 
particulars^ but that I fear I have already made my Let- 
ter long, and am tedious. I liyll therefore only add^ 
that I have accounts of tbe violence of the Storm at Nor» 
tp/ch^ Beccles^ Sudhury^ Cdfkefler^ Rochford^ and feveral 
other intermediate places ^ but I need not tell particulars, 
becaufe I queltion not ^ iit you have better informations*
