The powerful storm  also triggered widespread power outages in the city during a few hours and rivers of hail in the streets:

But the most complex situations were created by unbelievable hail accumulation – in some parts reaching 1.5 meters high – on several roads connecting La Cruz to Cañada de Alvarez and Las Caleras.

  1. Interesting…Why weren’t the leaves of the plants damaged? Why does there not appear to be any damage to the vehicles. The sheer volume of “hail” would have caused such damage, yet there appears to be none. I live in the American midwest, and even our normal snow causes some damage. Hail always does.
