    (continued from previous page)
    rain fell in torrents they were forced to fly to shelter.
    The flood was undoubtedly the greatest within the memory of the oldest inhabitants of Carraleagh and Carranaglough.
    Roads were impassible, rivers and streams were swollen to a great extent, big floods flowed quickly down the hills.
