Incredible video shows home being battered by hailstones 'the size of baseballs'

Home Devastated by Massive Hailstorm in Southern Brazil

A shocking video captured in southern Brazil shows a house being relentlessly struck by enormous hailstones, some reportedly as large as baseballs. The extreme weather event occurred on Sunday, November 23, during an unusually intense hailstorm that swept through the region.

Footage and Public Reaction

The footage, shared on YouTube, displays hail pounding the roof, shattering tiles, and rapidly covering the ground in ice. Local residents described the noise as deafening, comparing it to a barrage of stones falling from the sky.

One observer commented:

“It sounded like rocks smashing onto the roof. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Meteorological Context

Meteorologists noted that such violent hailstorms can be fueled by strong upward air currents and rapidly changing temperatures typical of spring weather patterns in southern Brazil. This climatic condition often produces unusually large hailstones capable of causing extensive property damage.

Aftermath and Safety Concerns

Authorities urged residents to remain indoors during the storm and avoid driving. No injuries were reported, but several houses and vehicles sustained significant damage from the impact.

Local emergency services advised: “Stay away from windows and glass doors during hailstorms, and shelter pets and vehicles if possible.”
