A tremendous thunderstorm has been covering five provinces in Southern China for the past few days, bringing with it torrents of rain and more surprisingly, hailstones the size of a child’s fist.

 

A Chinese state weather report says that the storm covers the provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.

Severe hail affected Hunan and Guangdong. In the city of Chenzhou, hailstones the size of eggs battered down for a quarter hours, harming hundreds of acres of crops.
