For reasons, I’ve found it interesting to document historical large hail events in Spain, and today is the anniversary of one of the largest storms in terms of hail size in Spain if not the world even. These are somewhat similar to volcanic plumes, both thunderstorms and volcanic plumes can keep fragments of solid material suspended in the air because of their intense rising air currents, one drops chunks of ice, the other chunks of rock, but in the end, both are types of falling projectiles that can shatter crystals, damage roofs, or injure people.
