I’m worried about a Gota Fria, hope we don’t get one.
One death already due to huge hailstones, and lots of injuries.
Toddler was struck by the stone near the Catalan town of La Bisbal de l'Emporda.  :cry:

Watched the hailstones on Spanish News Weather this afternoon, hail that hardly fit into the palm of the reporters hand, car windscreens shattered, damage everywhere and an explanation about how it occurs which was interesting. Minus 66c in the clouds and rain drops circulating in clouds at 25 kph until they get so heavy they drop to earth.

The thunder was rattling around the mountains for ages on tuesday until it finally fell on Somontin in late afternoon.  It was coming in waves it'd stop and look like it's clearing up and then would fall in torrents. 
It overflowed my 2 large rain barrels, even though Id attached hoses to them to direct it elsewhere.  It also overflowed the guttering.
I do hope we don't get a Gota Fria as  remember how long it took to get repairs done.
