- Old people are very scarce around this district and the younger people don't seem to know much about severe storms that happened long ago.
My father John Galligan, Corlislea, Ballinagh, who is aged sixty two years told me something about severe storms.
The most severe storm that occurred for the last hundred years was the great wind storm of eighteen thirty nine commonly called "The Big Wind". This storm was on the sixth of January.
The weather before "The Big Wind" was frosty and the wind was blowing from the north and there were several other signs of approaching snow. The people were greatly surprised when on the night of the sixth of January the wind rose until it seemed as if it would unroof every house in the country.
The damage to house was not very serious considering the intensity of the storm. The roofs were blown off some out-houses and stacks of oats and hay were knocked but very few dwelling houses we damaged.
