- When the cat or dog sits with its back to the fire it is a sign of bad weather. When the swallows leave this country early it is a sign of a bad winter. When smoke rises straight up from the chimney is is a sign of good weather. If the smoke scatters when it gets above the chimney it is a sign of bad weather.There was a fierce thunderstorm around this locality in the year 1909. It lasted from twelve o'clock in the day until seven in the evening. Two men named Burke and Coleman were killed near Ballylanders. They were loading hay in a field outside the village when they were struck by the lightning and killed. The horses were also killed.
