  1. Stormy Weather - A Cloud Burst

    Share Share Post
    About seven years ago a cloud burst in the district of Glan. Before this occurred the sky became black and was dotted over with clouds.
    The roaring and sounds of the floods were to be heard a long way off. Many houses were destroyed by the breaking in of the flood. The shops in this district were also flooded and the groceries were damaged.
