Nature and Origin of the hailstorm?

[edit]

I made a "See Also" section linking to the 1490 Ch'ing Yang event because there's a lot of similarities. Even though the implication in this case might be that the hail was formed from water due to the sudden decrease in temperature. And even small balls of those hurt as I myself know, but the possibility that it might've been fragments from some celestial body is there in my opinion.

Occam's Razor suggests there's no need to invoke an extra-terrestrial cause given that 10cm hailstones are recorded every 2-3 years in Europe and a 1kg hailstone was found in Strasbourg in 1958 suggesting that hailstones capable of killing people can form without extraterrestrial assistance.FlagSteward (talk) 22:22, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
