  1. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the weather was very bad. In the year 1920 there was a great storm. It was the biggest that was ever there. Snow fell for a week. In the year 1920 there was a great thunder storm. It buried two men who were filling a load of hay. The thunder came as they were filling it. The men and the horse were burned. About twenty years ago there was a terrible storm. A number of farmers' houses were falled with it. It was in the month of March. It lasted for a week. In the year 1829 there was a great storm also. It falled a number of houses.
