    A great storm occured in Ireland in 1881. It did considerable damage to property all over the country. It knocked and carried hay a good distance from Micheal Mc Carthy Glounlea, and a stack of oats from Dan Horgon Carker. It blew the bell off the Scartaglin Church. It was in the month of October it occurred.
    The signs which preceded it were as follows. The sky got heavy and very dark looking. It filled up with dark funnel shaped clouds, and the sun got as red as blood.
