  1. The big wind in 1839. Trees were uprooted, houses were blown down, stacks of corn and hay were swept long distances.
    A story is told about a man in this parish who, when the storm swept his house away, tied his wife to a tree for safety and it is said that he never saw her again.
    The hat was blown off a man's head in Ardcarney in this parish and was found next day four miles below Crusheen, that is it travelled about eight miles.
