    There was a big wind-storm on Tuesday 18th November 1889. There was no rain at that time. It was very calm at the beginning, but it grew stronger and stronger. It knocked many houses. It blew down many trees. It blew down many hay-stacks corn-stacks and flax-stacks.
    There was a great thunderstorm in the year eighteen hundred and sixty nine. During that storm a man named John Woods of Corrovoo was killed by a flash of lightning. There were trees rooted out of the ground by a thunder bolt.
    There was a great rain storm on the twelfth of January in the year eighteen hundred and fifty five.
