Remember the storm that swept South Kerry on Monday evening last, she was seated by the fire when at the height of the storm about 5.30 pm, the far gable of the house was struck by lightning, part of roof collapsed and gable completely shattered, adjoining rooms were turned into a shambles, but Mrs Lynch emerged from the wreckage unscratched. A workman who had a sledge in his hand was wrenched from him. Every article in a room near the gable, which used to be occupied by Mrs Lynch’s son- now a well-known member of a famous teaching order, was smashed to atoms, with the exception of a glass canopied statue of the Blessed Virgin, which remained intact on its pedestal.
