In one of Mexico’s most popular towns, Guadalajara, residents woke up Sunday morning to a very chilling surprise.
A freak hail storm came through the area, leaving he hot summer town under roughly 3-5 feet of ice.
Workers quickly got started on clean-up and removal.
On Twitter, Jalisco Gov. Enrique Alfaro said personnel began shoveling out cars and roads as well as pumping water away from homes and businesses as the ice all started to melt.
“I’ve never seen such scenes in Guadalajara,” Alfaro told AFP.
“Then we ask ourselves if climate change is real. These are never-before-seen natural phenomenons,” he said. “It’s incredible.”
In some places, the hail was up to five feet deep, AFP reported
According to AFP. over 200 residents reported damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles.
