    Share Share Post
    There was a bad wind storm thirty year's ago. It was in March and lasted four nights. A lot of chimneys were blown off. People could not go upstairs if there were were windows at the top of the stairs. Some people were blown into rivers. Windows were broken and the glass used to hit people. Trees fell on houses and and killed some people. A lot of people died with some sickness around that time
