And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great (Revelation 16:21).

H-Bomb Forms Hailstones

Reports that have been made public concerning the U. S. hydrogen bomb tests in the Marshall Islands off the Pacific Ocean indicate that there is not only an intense “fire-ball” plus the destructive Beta and Gamma-rays, but there are also great hailstones accompanying the explosion.

Large dents in the armor-plating on the surface ships located in the Eniwetok test area were noted. At first this seemed a mystery, but films and other data compiled at the time of the tests indicated that the tremendous air turbulence caused by the blasts resulted in the formation of hailstones of very large proportions. It was determined that huge hailstones were the cause of the dents even in the armor-plating of these ships.
