Aviolent hailstorm accompanied by heavy rain hit the city of Corrientes and its surroundings on Sunday, October 8, 2017, causing massive damage to cars and properties.
The storm hit in the middle of the afternoon while people were voting for the provincial governor. Several neighborhoods and city center were reportedly flooded.
According to local media reports, the hailstorm severely damaged 20 cars traveling on Posadas-Corrientes road between Scorza Cué and Ita Ibaté (Route 12).
Drivers said they couldn't do anything but get off the road. Some of the stones were as big as oranges and weighted half a kilo (1.1 lbs), eyewitnesses said.
