  2. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    About one hundred years ago the time of the big wind men were taken off their feet and taken up into the air. The same night Ballinagh was burned to the ground. The Devil was seen coming up the Railway Road and rattle of his coat was fierce. Every fire was blown out of the (the) houses and turf were burned in the bogs also.
