이태리 나폴리에 일요일에 강력한 폭풍이 쳤는데, 주먹보다 더큰 우박이 내리쳤다. 이것들이 자동차에 부딪혀 유리창을 깻고 여러명의 사람과 동물이 부상을 입었다.

 

The Italian city of Naples was pounded with a storm of massive hailstones on Sunday, many of which were the size of fists. The huge chunks battered cars, smashed windows, and injured several people and animals.

 

The “baseball size hailstones” fell from thunderstorms at a speed of “at least 75 miles per hour,” according to Jonathan Erdman, a senior meteorologist for the Weather Channel.

 

“It's no wonder you can see the magnitude of smashed windshields and structural damage,” he added.

 

Video footage shows the gigantic hailstones pummeling a car windshield, shattering the glass.

 

 

 

 

 

Another shows the ice balls crashing into the sea alongside a boat, as shocked passengers watch them hit the water.

 

 

 

 

 

The hail can also be seen hammering the pavement, making a crashing sound with each hit.

 

 

 

 

 

The storm was caused by a southward plunge of the jet stream that carved into western Europe, sending an upper disturbance into the Italian peninsula on Saturday, according to Erdman.

 

That instability stirred up a thunderstorm over the Mediterranean, which swept into Italy and caused the hailstones.

 

While the hailstones were certainly impressive, they weren't Europe's most destructive. Germany holds that record, with a hailstorm that caused an estimated US$2 billion in damages in 1984.
