- (continued from previous page)Hay was raised to a high price because it was blown out of the poeples haggards.
Roads, lanes and gateways were completely blocked up by falling timber, and in one instance a well known tinber exporter lost his mind.
Fortunatenly one class of people benefited by the storm and that was the poor.
They got timber for clearing it away and they also got money for removing it out of the way of the traffic.
So its an ill wind that blows nobody good.
We hope we won't have the same experience of "Mr Wind" anymore.
