  1. Severe Storms

    Share Share Post
    About the year 1839 there was a great storm which did many damages all over Ireland. It was known as the "Great Wind". In Rush it was very severe, some of the houses were nearly blown down with the force of the wind. The small thatched houses were stripped and the streets were full of thatch and slates. It was exceedingly difficult for travelers to travel. People stood terrified in their houses thinking they would fall upon them.
