A massive, sudden hailstorm has left at least one child dead, and dozens of people hurt in the Catalonia region of northern Spain this week, where record-setting balls of ice pummeled the town of La Bisbal d'Emporda, leaving the community scrambling to assess the damage.
The softball-sized hail fell for approximately 10 minutes Tuesday, in what one city official described to the to local radio as “10 minutes of terror.” According to Meteocat meteorological service, the storm brought the region’s largest hail balls in approximately 20 years.
