    Storms
    There are very often storms in Ireland. Forty years ago there was a great snow-storm in Co Wexford. People cound not get to town without a great deal of trouble and they had to shovel away snow to make a path for themselves. Sheep and cattle died of hunger. In some places the snow was seven feet deep. There is very often rain and wind storms. But the worst storm of any is a thunder storm.
