Strange news from France [electronic resource] : being II letters from a French Protestant gentleman at Blois to a person of quality at Westminster : giving an account of the late extraordinary tempest that lately hapned [sic] there, accompanied with hail-stones as big as a mans fist, whereby two churches and several houses were beat down, many others lamentably shatter'd, the slates and windowes throughout all the town batter'd to pieces, and all the corn and vines in eight parishes utterly destroyed, to the damage of two hundred thousand crowns and upwards : in all which calamity the Protestant church was miraculously preserved entire, and not so much as a slate or any glass broken.
