  1. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    There was a severe storm in 1886. It started on the 8th December. It blew from the west and tumbled everything before it. Snow came in the key holes in 1888 and 1889.
    It was over twenty feet high in a flat field.
    The snow was small and dry. The narrator saw small dry snow cover a large area.
    He also saw fork lightning knock a house in Boulteens Castlemaine.
    This was Corcoran's house.
