... settlers of Rome found that the huts collapsed as soon as built."5 The death of Romulus occurred when, according to Plutarch, "suddenly strange and unaccountable disorders with incredible changes filled the air; the light of the sun failed, and night came down upon them, not with peace and quiet, but with awful peals of thunder and furious blasts," and amidst this storm Romulus disappeared.6 Ovid's description of the phenomena on the day of Romulus' death is this: "Both the poles shook, and Atlas shifted the burden of the sky. . . . The sun vanished and rising clouds obscured the heaven . . . the sky was riven by ...

... valley of Gibeon? In that valley the host of Joshua witnessed a rain of bolides and saw the sun and the moon disturbed in their movement across the firmament. "At an instant suddenly" the land will be invaded with "small dust" and with "the multitude of terrible ones," and it will be visited "with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire" (29:5-6). "A devouring fire" and "an overflowing stream" shall "sift the nations" with "tempest and hailstones" (30:27-30). The prophet, reading the signs of ...

... exceptions, all men died.(7 ) The eighth plague as described in the Book of Exodus was "barad [meteorites] and fire mingled with the barad, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation" (Exodus 9:24). There were "thunder [correct: loud noises] and barad, and the fire ran along the ground" (Exodus 9:23) The Papyrus Ipuwer describes this consuming fire: "Gates, columns, and walls are consumed by fire. The sky is in confusion."(8 ) The papyrus says that this fire almost "exterminated mankind ...
124. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Damned (Abacus, 60p) Fort lists about thirty reports of falling ice-blocks, mainly from the pages of the Monthly Weather Review, but also from other sources including one from the London Times (14.8 .1849) which describes a mass of ice, about twenty feet in circumference which fell in Ross-shire after a loud peal of thunder. The reports go back to 1811, which makes some difficulty for the "passing aircraft" hypothesis, though New Scientist might like to take up this reviewer's suggestion that the culprits could be some of Napoleon's observation balloons which might have slipped their moorings. For readers who would like some entertaining and stimulating holiday reading, Fort's four remarkable ...
125. Electricity in Astronomy /3 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... straight one would expect there would be a powerful jet. If the electrons drain out of the channel because of their high mobility, the forces exerted by the vast numbers of positive ions left in the channel would cause it to expand with explosive violence until the ions are neutralised by free electrons in the surrounding atmosphere. Although the noise of thunder is generally regarded as simply the effect of the rapid expansion of the lightning channel due to sudden heating, it may be that much of the energy causing the loud thunderclap of the return stroke is caused by the electrical repulsion and radial expansion of a column of positive ions. Expansion due to heating is a secondary effect, so it ...

... , a prolonged wrangle, but finally Athena and Hephaestus received it for their joint portion (I 09c) . The consequences of that sharing out of the Earth were dire. While the spoils of battle won by the Athenians were being piled into a great trophy, there came (to borrow Euripides's line) `from the earth's womb a thunderous rumbling, a muffled warning, a most blood-curdling sound', and the land was writhed by an earthquake such as had never been experienced before (25c). And, worse still- upglancing they saw a surge, unearthly, up-columned to the sky, swelling higher, ever higher, spurting forth a cloud of spume and sea-blown spray ...

... them in Thy fury, and Thou didst ruin them in Thy rage. Nations raged from fear of Thee, kingdoms tottered because of Thy wrath . . . . Thou didst pour out Thy fury upon them . . . . Thou didst terrify them in Thy wrath . . . . The Earth quaked and trembled from the noise of Thy thunders. Thou didst pursue them in Thy storm, Thou didst consume them in the whirlwind. . . . Their carcasses were like rubbish.(7 ) The wide radius over which the heavenly wrath swept is emphasized in the prayer: "All the kingdoms tottered. . . ." A torrent of large stones coming from the sky ...
... on 20 May with the violent ejection of a huge dust cloud which soared to a height of 11,000 m. After this, the volcano calmed down. In June and July renewed activity created secondary craters which emitted lava flows. On 26 August a first explosion occurred. It was heard to a distance of 240 km. Krakatoa thundered the whole night long, and a black smoke cloud, streaked by continuous enormous lightning flashes, was sent up to the height of 27,000 m. Towards dawn the mountain's fury abated, but at 5.30 a.m . a second explosion shook it, after which it quietened for about three hours. Around 10 ...
130. Nor Heaven Nor Earth Have Been at Peace: The Contemporary Foundations of Shakespeare's Cataclysmic Imagery [Journals] [Kronos]
... : Kronos Vol. V No. 4 (Summer 1980) Home | Issue Contents Nor Heaven Nor Earth Have Been at Peace: The Contemporary Foundations of Shakespeare's Cataclysmic Imagery Richard J. Jaarsma with Edward L. Odenwald I No one reading Shakespeare's plays can fail to be struck by the frequent, even obsessive reference to disturbances in nature. Thunder, lightning, and earth tremors precede the assassination of Caesar, while meteors and comets are so bright during the civil war that follows that Brutus needs no light by which to read an evening letter. A monstrous tempest shakes Britain as Lear rages insanely on the heath. Storms and earthquakes parallel the murder of Duncan, and nature's seasons ...
