This is a video I shot today — mediocre quality and really short because I used my mobile phone camera. It’s just long enough to give a good idea of what was wreaked by the surprise hailstorm that hit Antibes last night! There were no accidents, though as you can see, some people left their cars on the side of the road, due to the icy driving conditions. The male voice you hear? Good grief. It’s a man behind me, who is often behind me, and who often talks very loudly — he’s quieter than usual in these 15 seconds.

A couple more photos, since it’s so rare here (it doesn’t even happen once a year — the last hailstorm this large happened more than ten years ago). I put both on the map on Flickr so anyone curious can see where they were taken:
o Antibes tollgate, first sign of hail resembling snow
o First stop in Sophia, showing lots more
