    A fierce gale swept over Donoughmore on the 6th of February 1903. The morning was fine and calm and about two o'clock in the afternoon the wind arose. About six o'clock a regular hurricane was blowing the wind reached a velocity of 100 miles per hour and never went lower than 80 miles and it did not abate until about 12 o'clock the next day.
    It did enormous damage houses were unroofed trees felled roads blocked. It blew from the South-west and swept over the whole of Ireland.
