  1. The night of the big wind the people greatly terrified. A great lot of damage was done to the houses around on that night. The roofs were taken off some houses and more were levelled to the ground. There was a house in Kilmaly and all the windows were blown out of it and there was a stack of oats in the haggard and it was blown to Clare Castle.
    The old people tell us that the fish of Liscannor were blown over to Kinaboy. The people were for three weeks gathering them and salting them.
    There was a woman in Cahersherkin and she went with her coat thrown over her head and it was blown five miles away.
