Agreeable to your request, I send you
my reasons for thinking that our northeast storms in North America begin first,
in point of time, in the southwest parts: that is to say, the air in Georgia,
the farthest of our colonies to the Southwest, begins to move southewesterly
before the air of Carolina, begins to move southwesterly before the air of

so on northeasterly through Pennsylvania, New York, New England, &c. , quite
to Newfoundland. These northeast storms are generally very violent, continue sometimes two or three days, and often do considerable damage in the harbors along the coast.
