(60 years) - Oidhche na gaoithe moiréIn the year 1839 there blew a great storm. It blew the roofs of several houses but Cusacks in particular in the mountain of Boultadine suffered most. It blew the roof off it, though it was safely secured, and even stitched as there was a special needle for stitching them at that time. It blew the roof off it and landed it in Dromoher and a scallop was not stirred from its place. It rested in a camp shape and the owners were able to sleep in it until their own house was thatched again. It is also said that the people found the salt water in their cabbage in this district a distance of nine miles as the crow flies from the Lahinch sea.
