   Most of the leaves were blown from the trees. Some of the branches were broken in the trees. All the fruit was cut off from the fruit trees. The hailstones knocked the dash off the houses.
   I heard about the hailstorm from James Hayden. He lives in Chapel Street, Ballinakill. He is a workman. He was born in Ballinakill and he spent his life in Ballinakill. He heard about the hailstorm from his father. The hailstorm took place in July 1907.
