Inner Mongolia News Network 2008-06-05 09:19 Giant hail was found in Charsen Town, Keyouqian Banner, Inner Mongolia. On the morning of May 30, 2008, the Meteorological Bureau of Keyouqian Banner received a report from Charsen Town, Keyouqian Banner. Report of giant ice cubes found in Zhenyongxing Gacha. According to the report, at about 15:00 on May 29, thunderstorms and hail fell for nearly half an hour in Yongxing Gacha, Charsen Town, resulting in a flash flood more than one meter deep. After the flood receded, the villagers discovered four extremely large ice blocks beside the small river south of the village. Looking over, the largest ice cube is 3 meters long, about 2 meters wide, and about 1.5 meters thick. When meteorologists rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the report, four large ice blocks had melted for 19 hours. But the largest hailstone was 2.1 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, and 0.26 meters thick, and the smallest was 1.4 meters long, 1.3 meters wide, and 0.28 meters thick. The oversized ice caused no injuries to humans or animals. As evidenced by more authoritative world meteorological observation data, the currently recognized "champion" of hailstones in the world has a diameter of 110 mm to 120 mm (a little larger than an adult's fist) and a weight of 776 grams. It was born in September 1970. It was discovered in Kansas, USA, on March 3.
However, the "Declaration" on October 23, 1923 recorded the large hail in northern Shaanxi, "In mid-July of the lunar calendar this year, the hail was so huge that it was shocking. When it fell, it was just like a bean at first, then like an egg, and then it was like an egg." If the punch caused damage to people, livestock and fields, I don't know what happened. After the hail stopped, the officials and gentry of Hengshan County went out of the city to inspect the disaster. Half a mile to the beach, they suddenly encountered an object, a transparent crystal, more than ten feet high. It stood upright on the ground and dug three feet on the spot. It was so deep that it had not yet reached its roots. None of the ten people around it could hug each other, and everyone was surprised. It was said that it was strange. When the sun rose, it was discovered that it was the biggest hailstone." In addition, "Guangyang Miscellaneous Notes" of the Qing Dynasty has "The hail is huge." "Like a house" is recorded in "Xinhui County Chronicles" written by Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty: "On February 22, Bingyin in the 11th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, rain and hail were as heavy as fists and as big as bulls, and the big ones weighed hundreds of kilograms, and they fell to the ground. During the earthquake, there were still many ruined houses in Chaoyang Lake. "Volume 28 of Shu Ji Ming Shu" of the Qing Dynasty states: "In the first year of Chongzhen's reign, there was heavy rain and hail in Shanxi, which lasted for more than a month."
