Hail September

Hail September! 
I mean that kinda hail from a hailstorm. 

We're supposed to be having "Indian summer" this week. The recast weather forecast promised +30dC. It was hot in the morning as promised. I went out wearing just summer flats jeans & shirt. 
Then, a hailstorm at 3 in the afternoon. These pellets of ice kept hitting our windows at work. At least the glasses were thick enough.
Later some areas were flooded including one of the streets I had to walk through. I tried hard to avoid submerging my feet but it all ended up under water anyway. 

I've heard from the news about damages in some 30 building and 9 people injured. Part of a roof one building fell out and landed into a bust stop where some people were taking shelter during the storm. They all were brought to the hospital.

Pictures below are from the internet.
Across yhe road was the bus stop that collapsed due to the roof that fell from the building behind.
Another roof from a different building which fell on residents cars.
Trees, roofs which were blown away on the sidewalks.

Today's a good weather. Sunny, calm only +20dC...like nothing bad happened yesterday. During "Indian summer", most people go to dacha to make the most of the last wave of heat.

I like that there is "Indian summer" but at the same time, it's kinda sad that I have to bade goodbye to summer. I like (early) fall too but what makes it sad saying goodbye to summer is the fact that for the next 6-8 months, we won't feel this familiar, comforting warmth again. I like winter too. I just wish it was a bit shorter?...maybe. 

Well, anyway, this is the course of nature...so be it. How has your weather been lately? Has "Indian summer" been in your place yet?
