The Maitland Mercury reported the incident:- " SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS - This town was visited by a very severe thunderstorm on the night of Thursday and morning of Friday last. The storm commenced about five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and continued with great violence until nine o'clock, when an abatement of a few hours took place, the heavens being partially clear, and perfect quiet reigning all around. However, another storm came up from the west ward about three o'clock on Friday morning, which exceeded in violence the preceding one, and startled the inhabitants from their repose. Indeed, such a severe storm has not been experienced in this neighbourhood for a considerable period. The only damage to the township which we have learned occurred at the house of Mr. Louis Werner, which was struck by the electric fluid and sustained material injury. The chimney was the attracting medium, which was literally destroyed, and the lightening, passing down both sides of the fireplace, where the wood is reduced to splinters, tore up the earthen floor and raised a quantity of dust which almost smothered the inmates. It then found its way into another chamber where a young man slept, striking him so that he lay insensible for a considerable time. The electricity then seems to have scattered about the building in all direction, causing the greatest confusion, when it ultimately found a good conductor in a cross-cut saw which was suspended from one of the rafters. The rafter and a number of the shingles of the roof were thus destroyed, and then the work of destruction ceased.
It may be deemed very providential than none of the inmates were fatally hurt, as three separate rooms were occupied by them. A young sleeping child in a cradle had a very narrow escape, as its head was within a foot of the cross-cut saw which conducted the electric fluid though the roof. Others took place on Friday afternoon and Sunday." - He witnessed the marriage of Jakob Andreas Heiss and Sophia Sopp on 29 February 1864 in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia

Several Germans in the district have been interned, but this man has so far been free, although his character and his loyalty have been strongly criticised.

"Ship La Rochelle, from Hamburg. In quarantine at Dunwich. C. Heussler and Co., agents.
THE LA ROCHELLE.
The ship La Rochelle has been ordered into quarantine. On her arrival at Cape Moreton on the 25th December, she was reported "All well;" but when Dr. Purdie visited the vessel on Thursday afternoon, in the Platypus, he found the immigrants in so delicate a state of health that he was unable to pass them. La Rochelle left Hamburg on the 5th August last, and on the passage to the Cape of Good Hope dysentery appeared, and carried off a number of children and adults. She put into Symons Bay, and remained there in quarantine for 35 days. The number of deaths up to the time of her leaving there was 42. Thence to Moreton Bay eight or nine fatal cases occurred from dysentry, and typhus fever also carried off several. Altogether there were 62 deaths, the last eight being from typhus. When Dr. Purdie visited the ship, there were five cases of typhus fever, but two of the patients have since become convalescent. The ship was in a very clean condition. The dietary scale, as is usual in most German ships coming to Moreton Bay, appeared to have been very low. Subsequently the ship has been towed to Dunwich, the Quarantine Station, and the passengers have been landed there and lodged in the hospitals. The latest reports concerning them are satisfactory as regards their health."
