Title: Hailstorm in Hungary : June 2009
Post by: Robi on 10 June 2009, 12:14:21 AM
Hi All!  ;)

just would like to show soem photos and 2 videos about a supercell hailstorm we got this weekend in Hungary.

Though this shows a countryside house, damages are serious! EDIT JD: This is the most incredible violent hail video I have ever observed with regards causing significant damage to a roof - this roof is literally obliterated! Violent giant hail footage obliterates house roof - watch it all! (http://video.szon.hu/video/43421/pusztitas-csarodan)

Guys,,

I would really recommend seeing the video of the roof as it shows some incredible hail damage to the house roof! Actually pulvarise is what I would call it! Watch it as it gets destroyed before your very eyes!

Europe has really copped it this year - tornadoes in Italy as well.

Regards,

I too was thinking of the 1999 event the way that roof came off very suddenly. Though none of the damage I saw in Sydney (up at Paddington) after that event included roofs completely stripped like that (and I was looking from a few stories up). Lots of holes but nothing stripped like that.

Some pretty impressive hailstones in the photos as well.
