    rain and great floods and there was a waterspout in Iskakeen hill Muff, Co. Donegal. Rivers overflowed and the floods went into some of the houses. Fowlhouses were swept away.
    In the winter of 1907 there was a great snowstorm in this district. It lasted four weeks. They had to shovel the snow in parts of the roads to let the people out of their houses; anyone that had not a store of provisions in, had to go and carry it on their backs.
