- In June 25 year ago there was a terrible thunderstorm. On the night of the storm a horse, the property of Mr. Tom Meyler, Ballytorey, Tacumshane was killed. The horse became frightened by the heavy thunder, and galloped against a wall, breaking his neck.
On the same night on the farm of Patrick Byrne, Hillcastle, Tagoat a cock of hay was burned in a field in Orristown opposite Kilrane Cemetry, by lightning. My father saw the hay after it was burned, and it was just same as if a match had been put to it.- Collector
