- The big wind was early in the year 1839.
My grand father clearly remembered it, he always told that the village of Ballinagh was burned up that night. The houses in Ballinagh then were all thatched. He also told that there was not a slate left on Drumcoghill school it was a private school then and was not long built.
Haysheds were unknown at farmers houses then, the oats was stacked in the haggards and the hay in one large rick. The wind was so great that the hay, and oats was swept broadcast over the country.
The people turned large pots right over the turf fires to keep the sparks from burning the houses. Iron roofs were unknown on out houses, then so if sparks escaped the place would be burned.
The cattle and horses went made in the houses. It was a west wind.
