- (continued from previous page)years later. The thunder peeled and the lightning flashed and the sun shone In the middle of the storm there were three enormous shots or cracks resembling the shots from a cannon - gun. It began about noon and continued until late in the evening. A man named Boyd who was returning home from Monaghan from loadening sheep on the train was killed. On the old Ballibay road about 3 miles from Monaghan town as he was walking along he was struck by the lightning and killed. He had a tin of sheep dip under his arm and it is thought it attracted the lightning
At the same time a woman had 3 cows standing at a gate 2 of them were killed and one was left standing untouched
