    Share Share Post
    It was in the month of January in the year 1839 that the big wind was in Ireland. It caused much trouble it blew down houses and sheds, that night Clude house was burned. For a time before it some people knew there was going to be a storm for they saw wild geese and certain crowds of birds flying around. Hundreds of trees fell down in the fields and killed cattle and sheep. There was also a man drowned that time named Jim Dally who lived at Rath.
