AI Thread Summary
On July 13, a significant weather event occurred in the Talacyhn area of the Vitsebskaya region in Belarus, where hailstones reached a remarkable diameter of up to 10 cm. This extreme weather phenomenon poses a serious threat to vehicles and buildings, causing substantial damage. Discussions highlight that while some have experienced smaller hail sizes, such as golf ball-sized stones, the severity of the hail in Belarus is unprecedented compared to typical occurrences. Additionally, there are mentions of hail events in the Carpathians region of Ukraine, indicating that severe hailstorms are a broader concern in Eastern Europe.

Wow, I've seen golfball sized ones on a single occasion, just a few of them mixed in with normal pea-sized hail, but nothing like these.
