I've always wanted to visit Australia, but I don't want to be pummeled to death by hail stones. LOL Sorry to those people.

une autre alimentation est possible 🙂!!!

ElMundoByCat OMG!

La naturaleza se encarga de darnos las lecciones necesarias. Pero... la gente es terca.

mayo_8920 How quickly we flip the script or convenintly forget that there fires were arson not environmental factors.

Killed 10000 Camels 🐪, Now Nature is giving them water. Slow Claps for Australia

Pero para algunos dirigentes el calentamiento global es una exageración. Esperemos que el foro de Davos2020 recapacite y reoriente su campaña electoral hacia la sostenibilidad por bien del mundo entero.

Poor koalas 🐨

Hold my beer Australian style.

😳

Now every company wants to purchase those types of umbrellas to withhold any type of rainstorm. Great marketing guys! LOL. Pray for Australia!

Is it true?

Florida?

Muy rico que llueva así deberían estar feliz de que llueva

Looks like North Texas in the spring!

Eso es Dios que a todo le busca solución y tu no te escaparas por todo el mal que le haces a los colombianos.

irish7584 This is crazy

Y aun algunos niegan el cambio ckimatico

From forest fires to hail storms. What is going on? This is scary.

Scary!!

Shouldn't this say they 'didn't take shelter' because I wouldn't call that a shelter.

With tree branches being shredded, not one of them is worried about their skull being cracked open. Well, one person ducked under the table. The others under an umbrella casually video record with their phones. Pay attention. They won't do well during sharp climate changes.

Imagine getting hit by those? Daam

💔

It global warming isn’t real

You had to prevent the camels massacre This may be a punishment from God

Revelations has come early for Australia.

Wow😮 hope everyone is ok🙏

That is not a good situation

Grotbags5

waleed_ahmed93 and it’s summertime 🙀

So basically Australia is turning into the modern day Job, with nature playing the part of God trying to teach us all a lesson.

Boulders

Perth 10 years ago

Australia is so intense and extreme nowadays.. epicenter of climate change . ClimateCrisis

'Mother Nature rules climate control©.

Hard to comprehend.

From bush fires to flash floods to hails stone what’s happening to Australia? AustraliaOnFire ClimateChange

The Powerpuff Girls

Mother nature is freaking pissed! Dayum!

Fire,dust clouds,hails ,,what's wrong with the continent

المطر بكنبرا عاصمة استراليا يوم ٢٠ يناير٢٠٢٠

This looks like a scene from ‘The Day After Tomorrow’. Tell me again that there is no climate emergency.

So now it is hail, after the fire - tis hectic mos

Awful!! Poor Australia! But what a great umbrella!

20+ years ago in Sydney the hail was so large that many homes near to the International Airport had inch thick concrete roofing tiles smashed and houses, greenhouses cars, car ports damaged. This was a short time before the Sydney Olympics😱

Ever get the feeling that Australia is Gods test run for end of days?

It looks like they are being shelled. I have no idea how someone would be able to respond to a situation like this if it happened while they were in a field with no sheltering trees or buildings anywhere near.

WOW

Ouch !!

American4Love Hope that hit some of those fire zones as well.

yzguariatom

Australia just can't catch a break.

These folks cannot catch a break.

you wanted water , take water,try to kill camels again ok this is God torment

ToniQuique A Austràlia ho tenen tot

Thanks to the climate change. We will suffer bigger tornadoes, bigger hurricanes, bigger earthquakes, droughts. Trump do not protect our environment, because that is against Trump’s friends the billionaires industrialists!

What’s next god ? Earthquakes? Tornadoes? Trump becomes president of Australia? Man !

Thinking of Canberra.

Yowza.

HAARP

Well those are certainly strong umbrellas that are holding back the golf ball size hail stones. I remember in 2010 there was Brick sized hail for about five minutes in Phoenix. My AC unit looked like a Gatling gun hit it!

“Australia” was the only explanation I needed

Wow, that's crazy.

WTAF!! 🙄😟😳

Unbelievable and there are people in our government in United States that don’t believe about global warming somebody butter shake up Our representatives!!!

The definition of 'deluge'.

Welcome to Nebraska!!! LOL

قال الله تعالى: {وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًا}[الإسراء: 59].

Holy fux what an amazing capture! Imagine being hit in the onion with one of those.

GOD: 'You want rain? Here's your goddamn rain...' nogod endtimes

cryborg Dang. Those would really hurt

God really hates the Aussie. Joke.

Song4Bernie Maybe, just maybe, nature is trying to tell us something!

Damn Australia going through it.

I’m shocked.... wow

this_vid

GOD WEATHERMAN IS TRYING DESPERATELY TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING... LISTEN TO WHAT IT MAY BE.

Crazy weather out there😥

Locusts are next

Sustainable2050 I said I wanted that drink neat.

What will be next, frogs, the rivers turning red as blood?

Oh my gosh!

which of the 10 commandements you did wrong !?

periodistafrg

Those who says climate change is just a political issue should not take shelter when those hail stones hit. 😏

Can’t Australia catch a break?

geoengineering

At least the fires in the forest will stop.

Holy crap!!

Anthropogenic climate change combined with the strongest Indian Ocean positive dipole for 6 decades has made that this summer in Australia to be totally angry. A little bit of rain can bring temporary relief and can help disperse smoke but this huge hail storm caused chaos. 😮

Wow

Welcome to Texas weather.

Fuck Australia bro. If its not engulfed in flames it's this.

😱

At least it’s water!

Golf-ball sized hail stones hit Canberra.😟🙄🇺🇸🧐😮

I’m hoping this will help put out the fires.

Well if you’re going to be stuck anywhere during a hail storm, best to be at a bar!

Wonderful news.After all the horrors of the bush fires you need a break.Send her down Hughy.

I don’t know how much more Australia can take

The australian prime minister was re-elected only recently and climate change denial was part of his platform? Well Australia, you need to make a change. We’re trying too ...

Tom_Ruen At least they aren't burning.

Wow

Omg

Poor buggers can’t get a break!

Austrians are like

A scene out of the movie - a day after tomorrow When that giant hail is coming down

Who froze the Canberra bubbles?

A minister friend of mine says, 'Pay attention when God throws feathers at you, because next come the bricks!' You think maybe God or Mother Nature are a little bit pissed off about something? Hmmm . . . What could we have done?

Putz! Não dava pra ser n hora do fogo 🔥?

what the actual fuck.

It’s literally the end of the world

Ramon__Braga

Otherwise known as another day in Texas

That's horrible! If a hail of this size hits people, it will cause serious injury.

Well dang! I feel sorry the guys under the umbrella doubt that was much of a protection.

First fire and now hail....the gods are like 'fuck this continent in particular.'

Look at this just people enjoying nature, not a single phone in sight

It's funky for sure, but I've seen this before in New Zealand. This has been going on for years, and I do believe we can do more to deter climate change, just not gonna panic where it's not warranted.

Perfectly normal...

Wow

Yes stand outside for views.

steeletalk The bright side is, Australia needs moisture in any form at the moment. Anything to help with the devastating fires.

We have large fires plus hail much larger than that here in Colorado.

DavidShuster Everything in Australia wants to kill you

Aside from the ice, that's a tremendous amount of water coming down.

Que miedo

almovellan we didn’t have this on our list!!

Next up: frogs.

Australians experience a classic case of 'be careful what you wish for'.

thank god climate change isn't real~

I think Australia needs to end their ways

Holy sh*t!!!! Stuff will knock you out. Not to mention your cars...

I hope this is where the wildfires are.

DenverChannel 'take shelter' under umbrellas? dumbasses

Bet climate change naysayers be like it’s all a hoax folks ClimateChangeIsReal

Yep. Summer in Australia is usually like this 👍🏻

OMG The world really is coming to an end regarding ClimateChange That's just crazy!

Holly sh**t

Climate change is a HOAX!!!! It’s a globalist plot to take power... Oh, don’t mind the insane wildfires, dust storms, and biblical hailstorms all happening on a typical Tuesday in January 😬

😲

Wow that sad !!

Holy crap!! Hope everyone is alright!

Omg 😳

That looks like a party I can miss

Based on climate, weather, and a wild assortment super freaky deadly animals, spiders and snakes, I think it's time we all agree that Australia simply does not want to be lived in.

That's terrifying

Omg

keithbaldrey Let's just pretend that this has never happened before and use it as 'evidence' for climate hysteria.

Damn. I feel bad for all the animals/wildlife getting pummeled

((((((((Australia)))))))

Climate change is real

God is punishing Australia for their far-left, anti-Bible, liberal policy.

This one will break windscreen to pieces

Wow! My ex lives there. He moved there to get away from our earthquakes in CA.

First fires now this? Time to move.

Australia seems like it’s in the throes of end times. Will there be a plague of locusts next?

_CapaPreta

Wow!!!

Whats it doing to the farmland?

It's like the movie '2012'.

The auto body repair businesses are happy but insurance companies aren't.

If I were one of those Republican religions fanatics that tRump hangs out with, I’d say something about this being the “wrath of god”. But since my brains a little more to the left, it’s Mother Nature reminding us to listen to what science, and Greta, are telling you.

god is angry. pay attention. 2nd coming of our Lord

Day after tomorrow vibes

I feel for the good people of Australia, but standing under an umbrella is not what I would call taking cover

I think God might have had enough of the, 'meanwhile in Australia' memes and decided to take em off the map.

wow... my son experienced a hail storm like that 2 yrs ago in Colorado Springs. Caused a significant amount of damage. Frightening.

Notice, It doesn’t get anywhere, stays in the same place, it’s a fake!

All very normal.

DavidShuster Just your everyday geo-engineering. Remember LBJ said “he who controls the weather will control the world”

God hates Australia right now

That happens in Texas and Colorado 1000 times a year.

Has Australia declared a state of Armageddon yet?

at least it’s water and will help aid what the fires have done !

reporting something actually true! Well that is a difference.

People? You mean those idiots not using the stools or tables for protection and running inside for safety

I'm pretty sure God is punishing Australia right now.

So why didn't they go inside? 🤔

and their PM still denies climate change

Is That Near 'Hades'?

hail bomb

First the fire and than the storm now this? 2020=2012?

Are you guys near this? I'm guessing it would help to put out any fires there.. HardwareUnboxed TechYESCity

Nawah oh

Australia has got to be thinking it is the end of the world....

Looks like a bed vacation. This is when you go tropical.

God's wrath has fallen on australia. Wat the hell have you aussies done

Medicine ball hail would be worse.

I guess they are having a hail of a good time

Good Lord!!!

😱

I notice not one of those guys spilled his beer

Wow this is crazy! Hope everyone was safe. The financial impact will be felt. just imagining car damage and broken home windows

Drinks are On-The-House

🙄

What in the heck is going on in Australia? Yall can't get a break.

meteogreen SantiagoNowcast

So obviously things are still going well in Australia!

This place has the most craziest weather

2020 is the year that GOD will show his Greatness, in all nations woe to those who do not fear GOD, I beg you come back in the fear of God

Ask God for forgiveness, otherwise you will experience the worst, Jesus Christ will return soon

Lack of the fear of God is the disastrous result, that Australia lives today, because of marriage with animals and the gay marriage of certain people, GOD punished Australia

Que horror y que pena ,😭

This video is sped up and looped to sensationalize, and ABC presents it as real?

🕯️ PrayForAustralia PrayForTheWorld

Literally, what the hell is happening in Australia rn

THIZ IZ ACTUALLY A BIG CHALLENGE FOR AUSTRALIA & HUMAN BEING HOW TO 'TREAT' MOTHER NATURE FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS : BUSHFIRE, HEAVY RAINFALL , GIANT DUST,,, THAT LOOKED ALIKE VOLCANO ASHES,,,, IN PHILIPINE,,,,,

God bless you all Prayers for Australia 🙏🙏

Oh crap!!

Thank you

Horrible..so many animals have been killed in this disaster..

Praying for dear Australia...🙏🙏🙏

ElizabethMonto keep in mind that this is just the beginning and we’re already scared. imagine what will happen 10 years from now if we don’t do something? exactly.

ElizabethMonto this is what we were all scared of and now it’s actually happening

Looks like the beginning of the movie interstellar

Well I guess now we know how MadMax really started

How long does this last? Does it kill animals and plants?

Great Southern Land

Has the apocalypse hit Australia? You think it can’t get worse - and then it does. 😕

Trumpd fault, right?

Fires... large hail... walls of dust... what is happening over there?

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just terrifying

This gif looks fake to me.

I wish you added to the account in God while cruelly killing camels just drinking water.

Australia should give sadqa😊

(((((((((Australia)))))))

Well, there's no wall of dust in my backyard, so no climate change...

Looks like the Central Plains in the 1930s.

This is a great example of air flow coming from high pressure into a low pressure environment, as the compressed air expands on the outer edges of the depression (ground level) this creates upward draft gaining mass from small particles producing sand storms. Wicked video! 👍

Another plaque from the Most High Almighty Elohim... Because they afflicted His Chosen Ones... The US will be judged, as well...

ElizabethMonto Nature our here creating scenes from the mummy

Scary,can't this choke someone?

😱😱😱

😳

Did the dust storm kill Epstein?

God seems very angry with Australia.

Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by invidious political actors!!! Oh, and never mind the one-in-a-century wildfires and dust storms ...

May I say it is way past time for us to be terrified of climate change? ClimateCrisis

I got anxiety watching this

OMG! What do you do if that is headed toward you

And living in Australia is still a good idea 🤔
