AN ITALIAN HAIL STORM

Earlier this spring we had a hail storm here in Bassano. As it progressed and the size of the hail increased, I was sure the sky lights in our flat were going to break. Luckily, they did not. It did however do a lot of damage to the grapes, cherry trees, corn and vegetables. I have heard some people say that it will take 2 years for the grape vines to recover. I took the following two pictures a day after the storm.

This is the parking lot of a school close to us. They pushed the hail in piles just like we do snow in the US.
