I fear we will find such strange weather events more and more common.

I'm concerned for my kids and grand kids. But excited that it it can be the fulfillment of biblical prophesies.

When I first glanced at the still photo, I thought my goodness that is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet of hail. Then I started the video and it was evident that it was an undetermined amount, maybe 4 to 6 inches, of hail floating on water in a flooded street. Hails storms in the southern plains are not rare. Guadalajara is at about the same elevation as Denver and it is on the Pacific side of the country so it is not in an arid area.

Accumulation was one meter.

DAAAAUUUMM THAT IS A LOT OF HAIL. I do not think I have ever seen pictures of or read reports of that amount of accumulated hail.

Evidently this isn’t exactly a once in a lifetime occurrence:


It has been hit by hail storms before, but seldom this heavy.
