  1. A Storm Fatality

    Share Share Post
    In the year 1839 we had a great storm which people call "Oidhche na gaoithe móire." It arose during the night of the eight of October 1839 and, no one ever expected it.
    Many houses, trees and stables were knocked and the animals were roaring in the fields when they heard the awful wind.
