   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.

   "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.
