Stormy wind, which broke-down great part of my Orleans plum-tree, & blew-down Molly White’s horse-chest-nut, & did vast damage to the hop-gardens, which are torn, & shattered in a sad manner!  This storm was very extensive, being very violent at the same time at Lyndon, in Rutland.  Much mischief was done at London, & at Portsmouth, & in Kent; at Brightelmstone also, & in Devonshire.
