  2. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    In the year 1929 there was wicked rain which caused a severe flood. The damage done in this locality was fairly bad.
    The Muicneac is the name of a very small river that flows past my house. This river swelled and swelled until it overflowed its banks. Then everything that came in its way it swept it before it.
