  1. A Thunder Storm
    About thirty years ago a terrible thunder storm raged and did harm to many things. Some winds of hay belonging to John Mullane of Glenmore were burned to ashes and a number of cattle were killed in a farm not far from the town. That thunder storm did a lot of damage in other places.
    A thunder bolt fell in Michael Nash's field in the townland of Ballyquirk and it made a deep hole like a well in the ground.
    A man was killed by lightning in Templeglantin that day.
