  2. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    One great storm of wind I heard off occured in the year 1903 in the month of February.
    It lasted for two days and it did a great lot of damage.
    It prevented all people from working, it killed sheep and cattle, and it knocked down trees, houses and sheds.
    There was also a great rainstorm at this time, rivers over-flowed their banks and many fields were flooded, the river Boyne also over-flowed its banks and several people had to leave their houses until the floods went away.
