- The Big Wind
My father's father that is my grandfather remembered the big wind of 1839.
They lived in a thatched house, which was situated about three miles outside of Cavan town.
The day before the storm the clouds were travelling fast and the very sky looked disturbed.
The wind was blowing strongly all that day, gradually increasing in fury, until about 12 o clock that night when it blew a hurricane.
Judging from the old man's account it must have been blowing at the rate of over a hundred miles an hour. Houses were stripped and many knocked down. Trees were torn from the roots so that when the storm had subsided after blowing for two days and nights, the country looked a pitiable sight.
Crops were scathered all over the country, and the farmers homeless and penniless was a sight never to be forgotten.
