On the nineteenth day of the eighth month, in the mi hour (1:30–2:30 pm), in the northwest part of the county, dark clouds suddenly covered an area encompassing a town and nearby fields stretching for about ten ri to its east. With deafening thunders, a shower of ice and hail bombarded the area for over four hours before stopping. The size of the formidable hail ranged from the egg of a goose to that of a duck and down to that of a chicken. They poured down simultaneously, destroying crops. Even birds and beasts, when hit, perished in great numbers. Hopes of harvest evaporated in a moment.
