Hail Storm Brings Chaos and Flooding to Lisbon, Portugal

[Nagual]

A sudden freak hail storm caused traffic chaos in the Benfica area of Lisbon, Friday, 29th April 2011, when temperatures dropped 20 degrees (from 27 to 5 Celsius) at 3.55pm. Roads and travellers were left to deal with an unseasonal slushy flood that turned streets into rivers and left several feet of ice piled up in many areas.

Wow!

Another weather anomaly, can't remember but read somewhere that seasons would become mixed and I think we are starting to see that these days too :p
