Abstract
May 18, 1680. Hailstorm in London.—According to Dr. Hooke, about 10.30 the sky grew very dark and there was thunder, very near. Soon after there began to fall “a good quantity of hailstones, some of the bigness of pistol-bullets, others as big as pullets' eggs, and some above 21/2 inches, and near 3 inches over the broad way; the smaller were pretty round, and white, like chalk or sugar plums; the others of other shapes”.
