- About 1850 there was three weeks or a fortnight of wild weather. It blew down stacks of hay and corn and it blew the roofs and thatch off houses. It blew water out of rivers and wells over the land.
- 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.
