Chaos in France! The strongest hail hit the northeast of the country / Orage de grêle en France

Extreme weather continues to rage in France. For several weeks now, the country has been suffering from unprecedented hail. On Wednesday, July 20, severe thunderstorms hit the northeastern part of the country. Météo-France has issued an orange alert for 16 departments. The departments of Doubs, Bas-Rhin and Haute-Saône have already been hit by heavy hail. The sky became threatening and hail began to fall, sometimes reaching the size of a table tennis ball. All this was accompanied by strong gusts of wind up to 100 km/h. Local residents who left their homes were forced to take refuge in nearby places. Firefighters received more than 800 calls in the Doubs department alone. The hail damaged the roofs of houses, windshields of cars and garden furniture.
