  1. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    On the 22nd of December, 1894, there was a great storm. A great number of trees were blown down and cornstacks were blown all over the land, roofs were lifted off the houses, and some houses were blown down. Ships at sea were dashed against the rocks, and they could not get into ports owing to the storm. The Glentogher river was flooded and carts and cars and people on foot could not get up or down the road leading to Carndonagh Co. Donegal.
