Hailstorm in Puebla, Mexico

A strong hailstorm covered the streets of Puebla, Mexico in a thick layer of hail on Sunday night. After melting, streets turned into rivers.

Fortunately, there are so far no victims. Weather authorities have announced that the rains and strong thunderstorms will continue over the next days.

In addition to asking for precautions when driving, Puebla officials announced that the cold temperatures will continue.
