15 minutes ago! Poland closes all highways! 68,000 people are homeless! Europe is in mourning!

Several streets in the city were left flooded as the hailstones mixed with heavy rain, causing drainage systems to overflow. The Polish Meteorological Office issued a warning for heavy rain and storms earlier in the day, but the severity of the hailstorm was unexpected. Poland’s capital city, Warsaw, was hit by a severe hailstorm on Wednesday evening, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The storm, which lasted for approximately 30 minutes, brought with it golf-ball sized hailstones and strong winds. The hailstorm is the latest in a series of extreme weather events that have occurred in Europe in recent months. Climate scientists have warned that these events are likely to become more frequent and severe in the future, as a result of climate change. Eyewitnesses reported that the hailstones were so large that they shattered windows and damaged cars and buildings. The emergency services were inundated with calls from residents requesting assistance. Local authorities have urged residents to exercise caution and avoid going outside unless necessary, as the aftermath of the storm has left many streets and sidewalks covered in debris. The authorities have also advised people to report any damage caused by the storm and to take photographs for insurance purposes.
