"In the 6th lunar month of the 6th year of Emperor Chongzhen [1633 A.D.], typhoon struck. Torrential rain fell for 10 days. Houses collapsed. Naval battleships were drifting in the sea; 8 or 9 out of 10 were destroyed, drowning numerous soldiers. Since the first year of Chongzhen, there was no year without typhoon strikes. The damage was especially serious this year. It was widely believed that the culprit was a mischievous dragon."
