Wind SSE
The rain set in about 10 AM, and the rain continued to fall during the day, & some times in torrents, & a part of the the wind blew tremendously, so that on the whole it may be said it was the hardest rain storm we have had since spring came in.
The season back has been reasonably dry, preceding today there has not been rain enough to wet the ground four inches deep since since the 7th of 8th month. Many of the Wells in town has become dry, or useless for want of water.

Strong wind at North, & Cold, looked likely for a Storm. All the week past, & indeed the most of Autumn has been uncommonly moderate & warm for the season, but very little rain, the Swamps, & the little runs of water are all dry, the lower springs seem almsot exhausted.
