    drove horses mad through the country. We had a great deal of rain fall in the year 1930 and every place was flooded. Pigs were flooded and poultry were drowned. Mrs Walsh who lives near the school had to leave her house on account of that flood. As far as I hear there were no lives lost in this flood. We had a great snow storm in Febuary 1932. Sheep and lambs were covered in the snow and people had to give days digging for them. It varied from two to nine feet high.
