Unusual hailstorm buries low lying areas of Guadalajara with hail and floodwater.

Local media is reporting that a powerful rain and hailstorm wreaked havoc in Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque very early this morning.

Guadalajara is Mexico's second largest city with a population of over five million people. The city is culturally rich and one of Mexico’s colonial treasures. The rainy season is between June and September with afternoon storms common.

Jeebus! Look at this hail bomb.

According to local media, in the Atlas, Álamo Industrial, San Carlos, and Rancho Blanco colonies the accumulation of hail had a height of up to one and a half meters.

The central zone of  Tlaquepaque was the one that had more emergency requests, due to the accumulation of hail

In view of the effects, the municipal government recommended safeguarding important documents, avoiding all contact with electric power cables, keeping warm and having the numbers of the emergency services on hand.
