    The night of the big wind was on the year 1839...

    The night of the big wind was on the year 1839 on the seventh of January. It did a good deal of damage. It knocked ricks of hay in Thomas McMahon Toormore, Kilfenora. It blew the roof of Michael Cusack's house Toormore and it was found about a half mile away from the house in the morning. They sheltered in a cowshed during the night until morning. It broke doors and windows of other houses. They went for it in the morning, and they found it in a field about a half mile away.
