An awful hailstorm hit the Lisbon area early this morning. The noise was incredible and scary! Hours later, I can still find ice balls among my tropical plants.
Below is a web image of one of the most affected areas. Crazy - this is Lisbon!
The people on the bus seem to be looking with disbelief at the "snowplow." Those hailstones are beautiful among the tropical plants. Were the plants damaged?
Hail has been known to do a lot of damage around here. Luckily we don't get it very often. I am amazed at the amount of hail that you got. Scary indeed!
OMG. We've had freak hail storms here too in the past, but nothing that drastic. This year we are experiencing the driest, warmest winter since they began keeping records in SoCal in 1877. You'd think it was summer. The weather/climate is definitely changing! Be careful out there!
We get a couple of storms like that every summer somewhere in our area - golf-ball sized hailstones, sometimes hail a foot or more deep. They're not fun!
The weather is doing odd things. While you were bombarded by ice balls, we were sweltering for five days over 40C while being the hottest city in the world and surrounded by wildfires.
When the hail really gets going, the sound can be scary! Where I live (Colorado mountains), hailstorms are common, but if you aren't used to them it can be very unnerving. Hopefully none of your property was damaged!

The weather has really gone crazy everywhere! It is a sad reflection of our environmental changes, sigh. (But you took a beautiful photo)
That is quite a lot of hail in your garden but, that second shot was down right shocking. Wow!

Zounds! Those things can hurt. I would never expect that to happen in Lisbon but weird weather seems to be the pattern all over the world!
Wow, and not a drop of the white stuff here in NW England
That really is a lot of hail! Yikes!
That is a LOT of snow -- and particularly for Lisbon!! Great shots, JM! Stay warm -- and safe!
Unbelievable! Almost... Great pictures, by the way!
Huge hail balls! I can hardly believe all that hail in Lisbon, looks like a mantle of snow.
stay safe. so many crazy winter weather happenings going around the world. here in california, we are having some drought.
That is an unbelievable amount of hail! It looks like a giant snow storm rather than hail. I hope your garden hasn't been too damaged!
Crazy indeed! Super top shot!!
That's incredible. I hope there wasn't too much damage, including to your plants...

The weather is so strange and unpredictable all around the world now. What an experience you had!
Weird indeed! I hope your plants survive the barrage.
Snow is bad enough but hail seems violent by comparison. That second shot is incredible. Time to take cover!

That must have been some storm.
You've been getting the strangest weather!
We get hailstorms here in Pasadena sometimes, but not with this kind of volume.

Incredible!
A captura ficou especial. Escutar barulhos que não se está acostumado a ouvir, vindos da natureza, pode ser aterrorizador.
Abraço
Oho .. you have snow !!!!
Ooo. that is a lot of hail. But surely in your climate hail would be common, just not so much of it.
El tiempo está loco JM. Y por aquí nieve sólo en la sierra.
