and when morning dawned in that village of Cappa, the people arose to find stacks of oats, and cocks of hay scattered and a few trees knocked down. The stacks of one farmer were thrown and scattered about nearly two hundred yards from the haggard where they had been - while down the bay (Brandon Bay) nothing could be seen except white-capped waves in a disturbed trough of sea and "fairrge cháit" disappearing in the distance. Not much damage otherwise was done - except the scattering of stacks and cocks and nearly every farmer suffered in that manner. No lives were lost in the locality"

"On the 27th Feb. 1903. a severe storm swept all over the country-side. It carried the Grand stand at Ballybeggan Racecourse Tralee - several miles away, and knocked down several trees across the Kilduff Road - Near the Great House. (owned presently by Mrs. Erraught.) Trees were also knocked down at ONeills Thursillagh - causing death of some cattle.
