  1. Thunder and Lightning

    Share Share Post
    Everyone will remember the first day of May 1932. It was the most awful day that ever came. It continued to thunder and lightning from ten o'clock that morning to dusk. The lightning did a lot of damage.
    There were two boys one named Joe Hession and the other Tim Coyne both between ten and eleven years killed while coming home from school. It killed a bullock on Pat Murphy, Caltra, Caherlistrane, while the animal was standing under an ash tree It also lighted a cock of hay on Joseph Mora, Shrule, Co. Mayo.
