MAY-16 <<<< MAY-17 >>>> MAY-18
LOCATION:
Dordrecht, Holland
WHAT HAPPENED:
In the year 1552, between 4 and 5 pm, a particularly violent
thunderstorm occurred. What made this unusual was the size and shape of
the hailstones. Some were so large they weighed as much as a half a pound.
The following translation is from a report which was written up at the time in 1552:
"Several hailstones had a natural shape of a sun. On others appeared a crown of thorns."
