- About fifty eight years ago my grandmother tells me we had the biggest rain that she ever remembers of. The lightning killed a pig on one neighbour near us and burned a rick of straw on another and a rick of hay on another. The rain flowed into the houses to a depth of two feet. It lasted about four hours.

- One day some years ago it rained very heavily. It rained so heavily that it swept the stones of the hills into the valley. It covered some fields with water when the rain was over a man went out to look at his fields. There was six feet of water in his field.
