- On the 16th of August in the year 1898 there came a great thunderstorm in this part of the country. It lasted for about ten or twelve hours, and it was accompanied by a great flood and lightning.
Water flowed into the houses and bridges were broken down, and the corn was swept out of the fields, and the turf was swept out of the bogs along the rivers. There were heavy showers of hailstone as large as marbles and the people stayed up the night praying.
