The hail fell in Sabinas, Mexico, about 100 miles west-northwest of Laredo, Texas. It is located in the Mexican state of Coahuila.

Videos and photos on social media show baseball-sized hail smashing cars and shattering windshields.

As TravelWise reported, a record hailstorm with a diameter of up to 19 cm hit the city of Azzano Decimo in northern Italy. This is considered the largest hail ever recorded in Europe.
