1839年1月6日至7日臭名昭著的风暴是重新审查，其对爱尔兰的影响概述。当代报纸和观察家报道的全国范围内的损失被描述，源材料被列出，并考虑到风暴的社会和文化遗产。一月六日至七日晚上的气象情况已根据现有资料重建，并以地图形式显示。与最近的风暴1988年2月9日进行了比较。1839年的风暴造成的破坏要大得多，这表明在风暴最严重的地方可能会有雷暴甚至龙卷风活动。
The notorious storm of 6–7 January 1839 is re-examined, and its effect on Ireland outlined. The countrywide damage as reported by contemporary newspapers and observers is described, source material is listed, and consideration is given to the social and cultural legacy of the storm. The meteorological situation of the night of 6–7 January has been reconstructed from the available data, and displayed in map form. A comparison with the recent storm of 9 February 1988 is made. The much greater damage caused by the 1839 storm suggests that there could have been thundery or even tornado-type activity in places at the height of the storm.
