- Severe WeatherAbout 40 years ago there was a great storm. It knocked slates off houses. Woods were destroyed trees were knocked down. In the year 1936 there was a thunderstorm. In 1935 there was a big flood in the river Fleske. It broke into the creamery and out on the road. There was also a good fall of snow. It was two and a half feet deep in some places. About fifty five years ago there was a great storm which knocked the bell off Scartaglin old chapel The poor birds were perished and they had nothing to eat, slates were knocked off houses in Castleisland and they did much damage. I have never heard of any drought.
