  1. Big Wind

    Share Share Post
    The year 1839 is generally believed as being the year of the big wind. It blew down trees and dislocated traffic. In Gurannfeen Kilbrittain, Co. Cork, the wind blew sand from the sea shore over large areas. In places it covered fields of corn. It was piled up over 100 yds from the sea and formed what is now known as the "heights".
