   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   In the year 1839 a great thunder storm arose and the people were commanded to bar their houses a big flood followed the old people had a saying of "Glass draws thunder" 5 or 6 cows in a stall owned by a Murphy man to the west of Millstreet got killed also the end of a dwelling house of Mrs. Con Cremin was injured but lucky enough the occupants escaped uninjured. The people did not know what to do and a collection had to be made up for Dan Murphy on account of the the loss of his 6 cows. Horses and cattle were killed in Flintfield in a farm now owned by Paddy Sugrey. A Moynihan man from near Rathmore came to Millstreet with a cart of turf but he was drowned when a short distance from his own home. He was found dead a few days later. This terrible thunder storm lasted two days and the people thought it was the end of the world. My father RIP told me
