   Rosary, preparatory to retiring, the terrible hurricane from the Western heavens hit cabin and castle; and gathering in fury, it stripped many a house roofless, and hay and corn in cocks, ricks, and stacks were blown fields away, and in many cases miles away Boats were lifted bodily from the shelters, and crashed to pieces on the rocks, and many of them were blown high and dry inland The storm seemed to have disturbed the surface of the sea, because distinct traces of salt was found on vegetation in Tipperary and Offaly many miles distant from the ocean. Mud cabins were tumbled down, and even staunch stone built houses rocked and tottered The streets of villages, towns and cities were strewn with wreckage. Falling chimneys crashed on neighbouring roofs, windows were smashed, and bricks, snones and slates were blown sky high. In towns and cities many outbreaks of fire occured. The cries, moans and shrieks of frightend people, who were huddled together in groups, mingled with th sounds of falling masonry. Strange borealic lights in the Northern sky strengthened the belief that the end of the world had come.
