“The greatest storm remembered in my locality...”
The greatest storm remembered in my locality was one which occurred on 23rd of September 1924. Some of the farmers suffered greatly, while others met with little damage. On account of that year being a wet one, nearly all the farmers had their hay out in wynds. The hay was blown many fields away and also oats, wheat and corn of every sort was blown and damaged and what escaped of it was useless afterwards. Every one was frightened, especially those living in bad houses, because they were afraid the roofs would be blown off them. Iron was blown off stalls and carried many miles away. Trees were felled across the roads in a lot of places and the traffic was held up. Many people were killed in motor cards as they did not see these trees. Cornelius Curtin
