    The storm carried slates, and the roofing off many houses.
    When a storm is coming people know it, because the seagulls fly inland, and it is usually very rough at sea before the storm comes to the land.
    When people see these white birds they begin to secure the roofs of there houses, and hay ricks, and cornstacks for to last during the coming storm.
    If the roofs of the thatched houses are old, they put a new straw roof on it and fasten it strongly with scallops.
