Severe thunderstorm? Be glad you did not experience the summer storm of 1674
English · translation
On warm days there is often thunderstorm. Sometimes you hear loud thunderclaps and see lightning. But the thunderstorm nowadays is usually not as severe as in the year 1674.
Back then, a major summer storm hit the Netherlands. The storm was very powerful. It was much more intense than what we are used to today.
Fortunately, we almost never experience such heavy storms nowadays.
