  2. The time of the second last "big wind" 1902 there was a little thatched house at the top of the rock road (where Paddy Reilly now lives) This house was not very firm. When the big wind came, all the houses around about were knocked down or some injury was done to them. Not a move was taken out of the little thatched hose.
