- About thirty years ago there was a terrible wild week of rain and wind. It blew down trees and old walls and old houses of wood and mud. It also killed many people. It blew them into rivers and blew stones and slates and iron down and killed them.
- In 1918 there was a terrible snow storm. It lasted for a week. It was three or four feet deep. Only it was in March when the people had the potatoes in many of them would have died of hunger. They had to take in snow and melt it for water.
