- (continued from previous page)the fact that the houses were more firmly build thirty-six ago than they were ninety-eight years ago. The storm played havoc with all the county. It knocked down a house belonging to Mr Carney a erd who lives in Ballingaddy. Thanks be to God there was no one in the house when the accident occured. The storm blew down trees and the roads were blocked for a couple of days. The day before the storm was very calm and warm and it was a great surprise to all the people when the storm came so suddenly. Four years ago there was a very big flood on the river Inagh which runs through Ennistymon. There was so much water in a garden near the station that the crops were swimming about and they were swept out on the road. The sea flooded Lahinch about two years ago. The golf links were completly flooded for about three days and the boys made rafts with which they went boating. Another time the sea dashed over the promenade and ran down Main St. after that flood the old people said that the sea would cover Lahinch within the next hundred years.
