  2. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    On Sunday night on January 7th 1839 was one of the most distructive nights for many a year before that. Any old house was found without a roof next morning for there was a terrible wind during the night. It was said that in the morning roofs of houses were seen floating down the Boyne.
    There was also another wind storm in February 1902. It was not as bad as the one before, but people next day were not able to travel the roads with all the trees that were knocked.
