         <description><![CDATA[<p>One day the God Pachacamac lifted the Andean Ñusta, the princess, to the highest part of heaven we call it hanan pacha, and said: “I will give you this vessel of water so that from the sky you can water the fields of earth. Obedient to the commands of god she watered the Empire’s fields every day.She had a younger brother who was happy and playful.One morning he woke up and thought: “I’m going to go visit my sister and play a trick on her.”Once he was in the sky he saw her watering the fields of earth and peacefully said: “Let me borrow your water vessel. I want to make the waterfall with force.” His sister refused and he continued to insist. He wanted to get the big water jar no matter how and decided to take it from his sister’s hands. In a struggle water splashed out violently.This caused a heavy storm. Sometimes even worse things would happen. Since the brother was filled with mischief, he made the jar break and the pieces fall down the mountain slopes where they caused sparks and sounded heavily. This made lightning and thunder. So this is how rain began.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Long ago, the Thunderbirds were mighty spirits that lived high in the mountains. These majestic birds had wings so immense that when they flapped them, thunder resounded throughout the land. The Thunderbirds were protectors of the people, ensuring balance and harmony in nature.</p><p>One day, a great evil swept across the land, threatening to destroy everything in its path. The people cried out for help, and the Thunderbirds answered their call. They swooped down from the mountains, their thunderous wings beating against the darkness, driving it back with bolts of lightning.</p><p>But the battle was fierce, and the Thunderbirds knew they needed to act quickly to save the people and the land. So, with all their might, they unleashed a final barrage of lightning, striking down the evil once and for all.</p><p>However, in doing so, the Thunderbirds expended so much energy that they transformed into clouds, their powerful wings becoming the rumbling thunder that echoes across the sky. From that day forth, whenever a storm brews, it's said that the Thunderbirds are still protecting the land, their thunderous cries a reminder of their sacrifice and eternal watchfulness.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The story goes that in ancient times, the people of Lithuania revered Perkūnas and sought his favor to bring rain for their crops and protection from harm. They believed that when thunderstorms roared across the sky, it was a sign of Perkūnas's presence and his powerful influence over the weather.</p><p>However, Perkūnas was not always benevolent. Legend has it that he could be unpredictable and sometimes wrathful, striking the earth with thunderbolts in fits of anger. It was said that he punished those who disobeyed him or showed disrespect, while also rewarding those who honored him with bountiful harvests and prosperity.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Written accounts by eyewitnesses, apparently published within months of the catastrophe, tell of a strange darkness, powerful thunder, and "a great ball of fire" ripping through a window and tearing part of the roof open. It is said to have rebounded through the church, killing some members of the congregation and burning many others. This is considered by some to be one of the earliest recorded instances of ball lightning.</p><p>The Anglican minister, George Lyde, was unhurt, but his wife "had her ruff and the linen next her body, and her body, burnt in a very pitiful manner". The head of local warrener Robert Mead struck a pillar so hard that it left an indentation; his skull was shattered, and his brain hurled to the ground. A "one Master Hill a Gentleman of good account in the Parish" was thrown violently against a wall and died "that night". His son, sitting next to him, was unhurt.</p><p>Some are said to have suffered burns to their bodies, but not their clothes. A dog is reported to have run out of the door, been hurled around as if by a small tornado, and fallen dead to the ground.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>On the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea near the mouth of the Nemunas (Memel) River, there is a bay known as the Couronian Sea. The bay is bounded by mainland in the east and south, by a narrow strip of sandy ground and sand dunes jutting out from the mainland and separating it from the Baltic in the west, and is open to the Baltic in the north. The soil of the sandy strip is held in place by the roots of pine trees and some hardy shrubs. Legend has it that the sand was scooped up and brought here by a local giantess named Neringa to shelter the local fishermen from the violent storms on the Baltic Sea. This sandy strip is now called Neringa after its legendary builder</p>]]></description>
