    Storms and severe frost
    When the last big wind came it knocked a house belonging to James Ryder, Knockmore Ballina.
    Loch Conn was frozen thirteen weeks during the big frost of 1896 and people used to skate across it.
    The roof of James Gaughan's house, Lisanisha, was blown awy the time of the big wind of 1839.
    During the big wind the roof of Walter Prendergast's house, Rathbane, Knockmore, was brought away by the big wind.
