South Africa is shocked! Crazy hailstorm hit Pietermaritzburg

A terrible storm of rain and hail hit the South African city of Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday afternoon. Massive hail stones caused severe damage and heavy rainfall flooded the roads. The flooding was aggravated by the clogging of the storm sewer in Pietermaritztburg. Motorists caught in the storm reported dents left on their cars after being hit by golf-ball-sized hail. “I had to urgently seek refuge at a gas station because I could not see anything in front of me,” said an eyewitness. Another motorist reported that trees and power lines began to fall around him. Residents also reported damage to the roofs of houses by hail, and broken windows remained in some buildings in the central area of ​​Pietermaritzburg.
