Abstract
ON Wednesday, April 11, a somewhat sudden and heavy thunderstorm passed over the Dunstable and Luton district. The lightning, which was close overhead, killed several cows, and did other damage. The storm was ushered in by banks of lurid coppery and dark grey clouds from the south-west. When the storm was at its heaviest, bright blue sky could be seen towards the north-east.
