1792 - Bad Weather in Annaghdown

Galway, March 26. For these several days past we have had very tempestuous weather, attended with very heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, which have done considerable damage in different parts of the country, particularly in the parish of Annadown, where some black cattle, sheep, &c. were killed by lightning, and several cabins burnt to the ground; a part of the castle of Corrindolla was also thrown down. Freeman's Journal, 7 April 1792.
