1792 [THU] The NYSE founded (Wall Street, New York City, New York USA)
LOCATION:
Dordrecht, Holland
WHAT HAPPENED:
In the year 1552, between 4 and 5 p.m., 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.
At one time, it was considered by many folks to be a sign of the coming apocalypse.
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."
