seldom had rain, but now the showers assumed the form of heavy, destructive
hailstorms, and being accompanied with a hurricane and thunderstorm, they were

or fall in fiery flakes. Thus all the fruit of the trees and the harvests of
the fields were either broken to pieces or burned on the spot, and universal

most people than those which attend a thunderstorm; even the most audacious
blasphemers quail when the dread artillery of heaven opens fire upon the earth.
