A great thunder-storm at Woodstock, & Islip: the Charwel much flooded, & discoloured.  No rain at Oxford.  Prodigious was the damage done about the Kingdom on this day by storms of thunder, lightening, & vast torrents, & floods, & hail.  The town of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire was  quite deluged, & the shops & sitting rooms filled with water.  A house was burnt at some place; & in others many people hurt, & some killed.
