    A Storm Of Long Ago
    A great storm took place on the sixth of January in the year 1828. one hundred and ten years ago.. This storm did a great deal of damage it knocked houses and blew roofs of houses. It was said that this wind used to be blowing the salt water from Galway and that the old people used to get the taste of the salt water blowing in the wind. It was a very bad storm, though no one was hurt from it.
