Easily one of the scariest and most violent storms I've experienced in Oaxaca happened last evening. First, came the howling winds which were so strong they toppled trees. Then came very heavy rains blown by those winds. Then came the hail, granizo. It was deafening and I worried, because it was being blown sideways, that it would break the windows. It didn't, but it actually took the paint off the facing walls, like they were sandblasted, as you can see in the photo. And the poor plants and trees.... shredded, with tiny pieces fo leaves covering the ground. There was a similar storm on the other side of the city two days ago in Teotitlan and Tlacolula. They had even more hail and serious flooding. Strange to have such powerful storms two days in a row.
