Hailstorm & Flood

In the centre of the city of Bogota (Colombia) something really weird happened.

Colombia doesn’t have seasons and it never snows. It has a lot of months of rain but without snow and if the storm is really strong it could be have some hailstorm.


In November in 2007 Bogotá had a really big storm, and one of the main streets in the centre of the city collapsed and the drains and sewers were damaged.

So instead of the street it became a river and instead of fish it had cars.


Granizada

This event is one of the biggest ones that has ever happened in Bogota.   




You can check this video which shows what happened and this video was so amazing that one of the biggest companies of cars took it to make a comercial.
