Coghlan's or Heffernan's had put on a zinc roof over the thatch covering which had been the roof for many years. The zinc was blown off & out of the village but whether the storm was going down when that happened or not scarcely any of the old thatch was carried away so that they were not so badly off as some of the neighbours
