I have looked for some newspaper accounts of the "Big Wind". There are all kinds of references to places throughout Ireland, as well as ship wrecks, etc. The only reference I ever find for Galway is: "At Galway, five persons were killed" It's an interesting topic and I will keep "plowing through" the newspapers.
