A local in Saint Etienne captured the dramatic impact of a torrential downpour of hail on August 17, as well as the ensuing flooding and problems for motorists in the French city.

A series of videos by Twitter user @BikeGaga shows the torrential downpour, which created a river of floodwater below their apartment, as well as leaving a thick layer of hail that was almost impassable for drivers.

The videos were a dramatic illustration of the kind of conditions faced in many parts of France, as weather warnings were extended across France

I take it hail is unusual in France? Hail used to be a normal thing during the summer monsoon season here in Tucson, Arizona USA. (We have 5 seasons instead of 4.) It always meant there would be great car sales because of the damage.
