... roughly vertical fountain of warmer air. Such a phenomenon has been reported: One afternoon in July 1971 a retired general practitioner, Dr L.H . Worth, climbed to the rounded summit of the Puy Mary, 1770m, in central France. He could see a storm in the valley below him about 3km away and he heard the thunder. A few seconds later he felt a blast of hot air, so powerful that he had to lean against it, and this occurred three times in the next few seconds. That it was not an imaginary or hallucinatory experience is shown by the fact that people on the mountain near him rushed away for shelter.(2 ) ...

... vulture form: the two vultures with long hair and hanging breasts; they draw their breasts over the mouth of King Pepi, but they do not wean him forever.9 When Osiris himself was called to the sky, milk was provided for him, the milk of the mother cow (Pyr. Ut. 337): The sky thunders, earth trembles, for fear of thee, Osiris, when thou makest ascent. Ho, mother cows yonder! Ho, suckling mother cows yonder! Go ye behind him, weep for him, hail him, acclaim him, when he makes ascent and goes to the sky among his brethren, the gods.10 Milk, ...
... found an animal which looks like an ox. Its appearance is green, and it has no horns. It has one foot only. When it moves into the water or out of it, it causes wind or rain. Its 126 shining is similar to that of the sun and the moon. The noise it makes is like the thunder. Its name is K'uei. The great Huang-ti, having captured it, made a drum out of its skin [n22 M. Granet, Danses et légendes de la Chine ancienne (1959). p. 5 9. Such imagery is by no means unique. E.g ., the Taittiriya Sanhita says: "The ...

... Charlestown earthquake is also an event far removed from a volcano, for the nearest is over 600 miles away. The Lisbon earthquake of November 1st, 1755, is another. It was preceded by the usual phenomena. The first warning was so great an oppressiveness that people could scarcely breathe, and this was followed by a rumbling like distant thunder. The resultant shock threw down most of the city, then one of the finest in Europe, day was turned into black night owing to the thickness of the dust and the meteoric dust, and portions of the sea coast collapsed and fell into the sea. At the first threat of disaster thousands of panic-stricken persons rushed down to ...

... - 81. [Italics are the writer's] This celestial phenomenon was a colossal being who threatened the earth. His legs bestrid the ocean: his reared arm Crested the world: his voice was propertied As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends; But when he meant to quail and shake the orb, He was as rattling thunder. 5.2 .82 - 86. We recall what Dr. Velikovsky wrote about the comet seeming to span the Earth, and appearing as a giant sword in the sky, and that its approach was accompanied by such extreme thunder that it made the whole globe shake. With Antony gone, with Mars defeated, Octavius the ...
187. Father Kugler's Falling Star [Journals] [Kronos]
... Now, with all of these certain meteoric phenomena are completely in accord. Again and again, not only in modern times but also long ago in antiquity, meteors have been observed which resemble the sun in respect of size and brilliance, and cross the sky at great speed in various directions, not rarely exploding, to the accompaniment of thunder and lightning, sometimes setting fire to terrestrial settlements and fields with their glowing debris. That, according to the popular and poetic conception, such an unexpected apparition should bring the stars into confusion, can be readily understood.(15) In the appearance of this meteor, Kugler finds the only similarity between the two legends, since ...
... ..."60 Hadas had read Velikovsky carefully and was not so ignorant as to believe that Velikovsky falsely claimed that Pallas was another name for Typhon, especially when an entire chapter is devoted to this identification. Sagan thus ignores the evidence and this is as near as he approaches the "Venus Myth" delineated by Velikovsky. Meteorite thunder Sagan states, "the statement (p . 283) [in Worlds in Collision] that Meteorites when entering the Earth's atmosphere, make a dreadful din, ' when they are generally observed to be silent."61 Velikovsky answered this, remarking that George P. Merrill, Head Curator, Department of Geology, U.S ...
... eddying flame." Beginning with this parallel and going over to the biblical description of the day of the lawgiving, Beke came to the startling conclusion expressed in the title of his pamphlet.

... use of it for the others' destruction. As soon, therefore, as ever the whole Egyptian army was within it, the sea flowed to its own place, and came down with a torrent raised by storms of wind, (30) and encompassed the Egyptians. Showers of rain also came down from the sky, and dreadful thunders and lightning, with flashes of fire. Thunderbolts also were darted upon them. Nor was there any thing which used to be sent by God upon men, as indications of his wrath, which did not happen at this time, for a dark and dismal night oppressed them. And thus did all these men perish, so that ...
