  3. In the year 1898 a terrible storm was followed by thunder, lightning & rain. Houses & trees were felled & low lying places were flooded. Mr Patrick Cremin's house at Coolatour, Milford, was flooded & the occupants used buckets & pans to throw out the water. The flood almost swept away the Milford bridge. The flood continued for a night & part of the next day.
