    Share Share Post
    In the year 1912 or 1913 the lightning killed cattle and horses on Mr Gowlin Cloonmore Dunmore.
    The lightning knocked a forge in Boyounagh in the year 1938. It blew the roof off and split the walls and did great damage.
    It also knocked stacks of oats and cocks of hay.
