Plus tons of birds and small animals

The 20-month-old girl was one of 30 people hurt after receiving direct
impacts from hail stones around four inches in diameter in and around the
Catalan town of La Bisbal de l’Emporda.

She was rushed to Josep Trueta Hospital in Girona on Tuesday afternoon but
died hours later.

A woman remained in the same hospital today because of the injuries she
suffered in the devastating hailstorm.

Most of the other 28 people who needed medical treatment are said to have
suffered head injuries or cuts from the ice that needed stitches as well as
broken bones.

Many cars were also damaged by the tennis ball-size stones.

Largest hailstone i've ever seen ! had ones the size of golfballs in Switzerland, but those are huge , so not surprised they caused so much damage. Very scary.

Okay I swear I'm not making light of the tragic situation but as I was reading it I had a brain-fart and thought it was a single giant hailstone, all the way up to "tennis ball sized" in the o/p then I reread...
