That year, which was 5344, fire fell from the heavens in the province of Ofteland, and there was a great earthquake and the earth trembled for three days and three nights. Many buildings fell, and a great mountain called Mount Yohanno moved and shook from its place and fell into the valley upon 172 houses and became graves for the people inside them (Tzemach David, part 2).
