However, despite their fear, the only victim of this unusual event is a pig in the adjoining stable.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable as it offers a glimpse into the unpredictable and awe-inspiring power of nature. The scene depicts not only the immediate danger posed by such phenomena but also highlights how even innocent bystanders can be affected.
