Before midnight (last night) a tall cold white noon; Early in morning, a terrific hailstorm startles us – (deafening roar, strange black houses) lightening and thunder –
Morning a light horizon; wild in terrific gusts, whirls up leaves furiously from peach trees –
Charles E. Burchfield, Oct 30, 1917
