At least 50 other injuries – from bruises to bone fractures – were reported from the ferocious storm.

Carbonell and his band were playing under a canvas-covered terrace when the hailstorm started.
“A hailstone broke through the fabric…and I told my group that either we get into the restaurant or one of those tennis balls would land on us and we wouldn’t make it,” Carbonell said.

“This summer, hailstones have been common since the end of July and during the month of August,” the meteorological service wrote in a press release.
The meteorological service explained that the scorching temperatures this summer across Europe have resulted in higher-than-average water temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea, which have fueled storms with ample amounts of moisture and instability.

Jet trails have dropped to only once every 2 or 3 weeks. Extreme weather continues, because they have nothing to do with it. And of course, the Spanish Government is telling you the truth. Governments always do.
That storm was videotaped very well. No doubt about hail size. Sorry to hear the poor little infant was killed. Bet money those hailstones killed some animals/livestock, and ruined fruit trees.
nothing to do with almost every jet passing over leaving chemtrails over all the cities – day after day spraying that crap – except on windy days – they never spray on windy days !!! – the spanish government even admitted it 4 months ago , that they were using the spanish airforce to “spray all the cities , to help in the fight against covid” –
