RAINSTORM BRINGS RELIEF.
With Electrical Display, Comes
After Day of Sweltering Heat.
After a day of sweltering heat, Kansas City found relief at 11 o'clock last night when an electrical storm burst over the city. Early in the evening dark and heavy clouds began to appear in the West and moved rapidly towards the northeast, seeming to roll over and over. Shortly before 11 o 'clock a strong wind sprang up surcharged with moisture, bearing a warning of the approaching thunderstorm.
Crowds which had thronged the parks began to hasten homeward and the cars were overcrowded with those who attempted to reach shelter before the storm came. Large drops of rain fell for a few minutes followed by a considerable downpour, accompanied by wind, lightning and thunder.
P. Connor, weather forecaster, had almost promised that Kansas City should have fair weather last night and this morning. Such thunderstorms as Kansas City had last night have been extremely prevalent through the Southwest this past week.
