A mere umbrella just won’t do, bring a helmet. Like something out of an apocalyptic flick, Chenzhou city, China experienced extreme weather lasting fifteen minutes when hailstones the size of eggs fell from the sky causing serious damage to the area. Fortunately, no casualties were reported from the hailstorm which punched holes in car windows.

In March 2014 a week of bad weather, including the appearance of giant hailstones, claimed the lives of at least 16 people in the same Province.
