  1. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    In this district the weather is sometimes very bad. Sometimes we have very bad storms and big floods. The weather is very cold also.
    In the year 1839 there was a great storm. It was called the year of the big wind. It knocked slates off houses and it knocked stacks of oats. The hey was scattered about the fields.
    Sometimes we have very severe thunderstorms and rain-storms. We had a thunderstorm not long ago it knocked a roof of a house and it killed a dog near the house. There was lightning also.
