- There were not many burnings in this locality but still there were a few.
There was a fine building the property of Mr. Wells destroyed in 1922. It was used as a camp by the Free State soldiers. And so that it could not be occupied by them it was burnt by the Republican soldiers.
About fifty years ago this district witnessed a fierce thunder storm. Two children were struck by lightning on Myshall hill and were killed. The were natives of Bagnalstown.
Last year four men were struck by lightening and knocked unconscious while two horses were killed in the townsland of Bealalaw.
In March 1903 a hearty gale blew across Ireland. It lasted two nights and a day. It carried the roofs off houses, it destroyed huge quantities of hay, straw and trees. A fierce snow storm descended on the locality, on January the 26th 1919. It remained on the ground until the first of May.
