Severe storms hit Italy yesterday, with some areas experiencing extremely large hailstones that caused significant damage. The strongest storms affected parts of northern and eastern Italy, especially along the Adriatic coast. Reports described hailstones reaching exceptional sizes, in some cases up to 10–15 centimeters in diameter, causing damage to cars, buildings, crops, and infrastructure. The hail fell with such intensity that streets were temporarily covered with ice, creating dangerous conditions for residents and tourists. Strong thunderstorms were also accompanied by heavy rain, powerful winds, and flooding in several locations. - ig_stormchasers
