Golf-ball sized hailstones rain down on parts of southeastern Australia. The white balls of ice were large enough to smash car windows and injure birds:

Parts of southeastern Australia are being pelted by hailstones the size of golf balls, big enough to smash car windows and injure birds, less than 24 hours after the region was hit by massive dust storms.

The hailstorms arrived in the national capital Canberra on Monday afternoon, covering the ground with white balls of ice and leaves that have been stripped from trees. People ran for cover, and drivers pulled off the road to try and find underground parking for fear of hailstone damage.Golf ball-sized hail at Parliament House on January 20, 2020 in Canberra, Australia.

This is the catastrophic result of global warming. Weather extremes across the board that are so severe & fequent that they consistently threaten life as we know it on this planet is what we are seeing in real time. ☹️😞

karinyoo Ini nih yg bikin hujan di Lombok berhenti

People should note that it’s SUMMER in Australia!!!!

You'll notice that CNN is not reporting much on the Impeachment trial at the moment since the defense had their day in court and revealed the impeachment for what it actually is, a corrupt, partisan sham...

Wow, is this a normal size? 🧐😔

That's really weird!! I, for one, wouldn't of thought of Hailstones & Australia together🤔🤔

My heart goes out to the great people of Australia!! I know how trying this must be. Please be strong and help each other get through this!! We are pulling for you all!! SENDING PRAYERS!!

Ok. Lets accept that climate change is real and is happening now. GretaThunberg was true and is true.

They can catch a break anytime now...

Holy shit cnn is telling the truth

Because they kill children of she camel 🐪 they will get Allah punishment by fire storms heavey rain and by others punishment

The ancestors are annoyed planet Earth needs a change wrong people in command of planet earth

Everything is happening to Australia all at once, I feel bad for them

Sure that ain't Mar-a-Lago - the President and Lindsey Graham firing off golf balls at the dum-dums of CNN!

Effects of climate change

🙏😔

But why does CNN keep reporting the same story over and over again? If you notice this was the news from last Monday.

Climate Change is a Chinese hoax. DAVOS says No.

Poor Australia. I couldn't imagine what they've been through so far this year

The climate is changing, and what politicians are doing is releasing statements that ignore and dismiss these events. Politicians like Trump who ignore the facts cannot be effective in fighting such events.

ALLAH is the greatest ☝

Free golf balls 😎

SexyNsikak Who did these Australians offend fgs

So sad.

wow hope it helped with fires

Poor Australia, what a terrible sequence of events, at least I cannot imagine anybody there still trying to deny climate change? 😩

somehow, someway....it's Drumpf's fault

🐫 🐫🐫🐫🐫🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪

Something is just not right about Australia.

wow tough times there

I love this

What did Australia do in its past life to deserve this?

😳 wow Australia is going through climate change.....😥😥

☹️🥺‼️

I’m sorry about the bushfires two weeks boys I forgot I dropped my mixtape 3 months early exclusively in Australia world wasn’t ready for dat

America, reports on Australia fires, hail, dust storm (this was about a week ago now) but actually interesting good news about Australia, like todays Australia day, absolutely nothing, not sensational enough. Soon the weather will calm down & we’ll be completely forgotten again🙄

If my history is correct, this was just like the great dust bowl during the depression in Kansas and the Midwest.

Good god, they just can’t get a break over there

My heart aches for Australia.

How many people have been arrested now in Australia for arson? They proved that they can create a disaster and blame it on the neglect of warnings.

This happened weeks ago. Truely, weeks ago. Why do you continue to tweet this?

Mad max for real in this mfffkk

Wow....

UFOs are in there

This sand storm has been shown several times

This is too much oh God..

Better then fire. Amirite. WuhanCoronavirus

When humans has destroyed earth and earth becomes a mix of mars and something heartbreaking..

Australia seems to be experiencing the end of times.

This is the result of the weather manipulation.

Everything in Australia is trying to kill you

A lot of water it needed

Jeez Australia, what did you do to piss off *God*?!

I blame Bush..err...I mean Trump. Is that right? We blaming Trump now, right?

God help us!

this is what climate changes does to rains in australia those ice cubes are dangerous i tell ya the last we ever got ice cube in Lithuania was a few years ago

gtconway3d This is straight out of Interstellar.

Golf-ball sized hailstones rained down...

BruhnRose Yeah. It happens every year. It’s Australia. We have bushfires, droughts, flooding rains - check our national anthem.

Poor Australia. Most dangerous creatures live there Deadliest forest fires Hailstones the size of golf balls.

climate deniers explain this 😱

motherNatureIsaBiotch

Girls education should be free with all required facility till senior secondry at least Rehana

Gos is miracle

I cant believe it.

They occupied land of indigenous 😞

gtconway3d I've seen footage of dust storms in the Midwest in the 30's. They looked like these. The dust was everywhere. Even in houses. Ppl couldn't see to drive. It was horrible.

The lastday of World.

gtconway3d Yes so much top soil is dry and friable due to the continued drought. It rained mud is Sydney this week. climatechange

gtconway3d I lived in the UK for years and once in a while my car would have sand on it. From dust storms in the Sahara.

gtconway3d This Phoenician is not impressed.😐

Do not go gentle into that good night...

Somebody call Swedish teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg and ask her what the bloody hell is going on.

In other words, another summar day here in Phoenix, Arizona.

Whoever the Pharaoh of Australia is should really consider let'n them people go at this point.

Good grief. What else are they going to have to deal with?!

Australia seems to be endlessly combating nature. Fire, Rain,. When will it end?

Its get worst when you compare it with interstellar movie!! Is it going to happen?

That's all they need-but at least they are getting rain that they desperately need...

This happens several times a year in Colorado.

This story is lost on americans they couldn't point Australia out on a map if asked

Someone is playing Jumayi

I wonder if the Continent at the current South Pole went through these stages as well The fires burning the growth away and in Time Australia will be part of new South Pole. The new North Pole will be close to Bermuda Triangle. The AURORA BOREALIS is moving ahead of North Pole

Were the hailstones on fire?

Damn climate change...

Now this will injure the surviving animals, poor animals

This is like interstellar , v scary

Terrific❗

Wow...

Mad Max 🚓

😱OMG

Smh

'Don't run away. film first.'

climate change wrecked australia 😢

That is just terrifying. I can't imagine what the dust bowl was like in the US.

Q susto!!!! OMG 😲

And they have a nerve proceeding with the Australian Tennis Open. The show must go on? Big business is at stake? Not only is it a National emergency for them, but it's a world emergency. The open should have been postponed.

Haboob City.

I pray for everyone from the firefighters to paramedics to rescue teams trying to save these precious souls and for those who have paid with the ultimate sacrifice 🙏💔💔💔💔🙏

It looks scary .

Eu quando for tirar a poeira do meu quarto

elderlima_ interestelar

So they just stand there and let it hit them?

That’s terrifying WorldClassPillz

global warming has its way in Australia. It high time for the people to minimize the level of pollution in the country.

Mass Effect 3 Priority: Mars

Country’s fucked

I just hope Matthew McConaughey is taking off bound for fucking Saturn in a secret NASA project or something to save our asses in a hundred years.

Anyone still saying climate change is not real? This week koalas drowning, last week koalas burning

Climate change 😬😬😬

I hope it's mother nature making humans pay close attention to her neglected protection of human life.

Horrible… Be careful they must.

你们得自救.别人都帮不了你.行动吧.游行都没任何意义,不如自己动手去灭火

We have an 18 to 20 year drought then flood cycle in Australia. We are nearing the end of the drought cycle. We will have excess rain soon. That's how it works here. All that has changed is average joe now gets lots of pics and vid via the internet and thinks its new...

Australia is fine, these WEATHER EVENTS have been happening for ever! And here is a weather update for use: plenty of rain down the east coast as of late, how do I know this because I live there!

Hasn’t this always happened there are pictures dating all the back to 1937 of major dust clouds.

May God deliver Australia from all these environmental crisis. It sucks!

with all respect australia is becoming a war zone of natural phenomenon

That's bad along with the wildfires. We other countries need to stop it, if we all work together we can do it.

They just don’t get a fucking break, do they

This is beautiful

The spirits of the Indigenous Australian's are angry , and now AustraliaBurns as punishment for the past!

Are those Kabooms

Now CNN can tell Australia who's doing it.

Cant imagine the health effect from the bushfire smoke and the dust cloud. May God have Mercy🙏🙏

Cadê a greta cuja gruta é uma greta insípida. Falta canavial de...

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Does this happen to be at least helping sooth the fires?

Bethenny It’s like the end of the world down in Australia. This is insane!

Bethenny this is so sad and crazy.

Fire Ice Will it be floods or locusts next?

Trump's fault

Just another day in straya mate😋

They have earthquakes in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

MSNBC ABC Duststorms,hailstorms,fires! Lord have mercy,what is going on in Australia?!!! Mother nature is literally mad at us!

No more fires , said Mother Earth.

What’s next? Locusts?

Australia. Apocalypse. Again. 😱 🙏

Abnormal weather··· it's awful··· I pray that all anomalies calm down ...

I think the world is ending but only for Australia

That’s scary😯

Jesus holy Christ. This is all too much!

I don’t know what Australia did to deserve the wrath of the Gods like this but I think we need to maybe sacrifice some virgins or something because thoughts and prayers are NOT working right now.

They have earthquakes in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

It happens every summer. Stop being drama queens.

Are we sure that these are not outtakes from Mad Max: Fury Road?

Apocalypse again 💔💔😢😢

joelscribes samanthalaurie7 please don’t be near here 🤭🤭

Biblical events for those who believe that and climate crisis unfold for those who believe that! Unfortunately it’s a beautiful country and its inhabitants, it’s flora and fauna is the sufferers 🌎 God save Australia 🙏

'Snakes out here this big?' IC

?

Prayers to all the people suffering in Australia 🙏🏽

bolding_daniel Very sad

Oh, this is terrible! My heart goes out to our Aussie comrades!

Danieltijolop2

Dust storms like this are common after years of drought.

OMG like a horror movie.

dincerguner bu avustralyanin haritasinda bi sorun var sanki.yanginlar dolu firtinasi toz firtinasi cok enteresan seyler oluyo.

Australia getting hit hard right now. What's going on over there?

Reminds me of Phoenix AZ.

Texas?

Ibi like the judgement day go start from Australia p33333

Cool

This happens every summer.. nothing new.

Fires. Giant hail. Now this haboob. All of Australia is experiencing an Arizona summer. That's bad in single state. Across an entire country, horrific.

If they have a locusts invasion next they might as well paint red crosses on their doors and never come back out.

It looks like the American dust bowl in the 30's.

the weather and the nature is great!

But climate change isn't real. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here. carryonasusual

Oh holy hell those poor animals and people

I hope the birds were safe :(((

Does this help the fire?

Nothing out of the ordinary to see here. Storms which include hail stones - and big ones - are not uncommon in the areas mentioned.

Kansas got this like 2 years ago. When low and high pressure systems clash they increase likelihood of extreme weather, hot and cold air mixing? Come on someone here had to take meteorology or earth science. Climate change is real yes but this is rage bating.

Love how we still have people saying climate change isn’t real while we have Australia going through the fucking apocalypse.

Australia is just one huge Test Lab 🧪

lacscully Which plagues are next? 🐸 or locusts

Always exaggerating

Ok , why all the tormenting in Australia God ?

OMG these people need a break!

RAMS15rule The climate fuckery is never ending for our poor friends in Australia. We’re sending you positive vibes from America for a quick improvement and meaningful healing.

Only birds huh?

Apocalypse?

MarkDavidAnder9 Dear RepublicanJesus...is AustraliaOnFire...or does Noah need to finish his Ark. AskingForAFriend...who said make up your mind. ClimateCrisis

Man Australia is having a hell of a time, literally. Prayers 🙏 to everyone there.

Golf gets such bad PR in these conditions.

What did Australia do to piss off the gods? Goodness, how much more can they take? Enough, please...

4 horsemen next?

OMG! Weather!

I remember that happening in my state in 1976

Seriously! You know there’s a name for those “white balls of ice”. CNN discovered hail for the first time...

I’m sure more than birds... 🙄

stevebristoluk What have Australia done to anger God?

Doesn't look like 'golf ball sized' to me. FakeNewsCNN

Apocalyptic weather outback lately, ey? Bushfires, sandstorms, hailstorms...

This is God’s work after those fires. He’s brewing up something.

Everything on that continent tries to kill ya!!

Run.....global warming!!

God is like... you want rain..here you go. Fires are officially out.

Climate change .Stay safe Australia

What the hell did Australia do to Mother Nature to deserve this?

It's revenge for barbecuing all that shrimp.

Maybe it’s global warming ⛄️

Perhaps caused, somehow, by all the particulates in the air?

Damn nature, you scary !!

Australia 🥴🥴🥴🥴 is getting violated by Mother Nature 🥺🥺🥺

My heart breaks for Australia.

What next for Australia!!

Those aren't golf ball sized. Doesn't matter, it's POTUS fault, right? FakeNews

Yeah, climate change is a hoax. 🙄

Reminds me of the dust storms in the movie”Interstellar”. Pay attention people .

Terrific view ❗

😢😢😢

Crazy...Australia has dealt with so much recently!

STabbytosavit They just can't catch a break.

😱

This is just footage of Scomo at Engadine

Oh my god im worry 😭

So tell me again that climate change is a fake

El fin del mundo va a arrancar en Australia.. fijo

NiemieckaPolity OMG.

🙏

MitchInAZ a haboob!

Happens in every desert. AZ, Ca, NM and Texas in the US. Natural beautiful event.

You remember that scene from Mad Max Fury Road? The first chase scene.....? Yeah......

OMG Which part of China is this

diegomatteus Fracking?

They should not be so close.

Nature is saying something or is it God?

Firefighters be like:

There will be a red wave like that in the US in November.

It happens

This nothing new, or uncommon. Here’s one from 2013. FakeNewsCNN trying to drum up drama on a common weather event.

Scary somthn

Wow

They should be grateful they don’t live in Paulsgrove

tomszawacki It's like a scene from The Mummy ! !

What is going on in Australia

so_dead__inside stay safe 😨

May Jesus and God send down there army to help you Australia god bless you amen 💗😇

This is soo sad. Australia is suffering. ☹️

Thanks a lot Trumps

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Vejo essa cena...E viajo no tempo, e vejo o futuro do nordeste e norte do Brasil.

What next? Plagues of frogs .... death of the firstborn? Surely Australia has suffered enough

Richmond could use this right about now, not Australia.

The same country that produced Hitler is under attack by god!!!! A coincidence, I think not.

Pleagues on the land and we do nothing but look on... Prophecy being filled yet we're singing the same song. Wake up!

Tragedy!!😒

“I should pay more in taxes so the bureaucrats can stop these duststorms.” - No one

Dear CNN........ we know what that's like........ but you didn't know that, did you?

الغضب الإلهي

Meu Deus aonde foi isso

Interstellar

The Mad Max dust storms in real life

☹️😞

The birds 🦅 are screaming

😭

what is going on in Australia?

imagine getting farted on by your whole ass ecosystem lolololol

Keep safe everyone

Thanks Obama Your legacy

Here’s a video of what global warming looks like.

Sad 😢

GreenNewDeal plz🙏 before australia is gone 😫

Madmax

Holy moli that's a scary sight

Let’s hope no small creatures are severely hit by the hailstones.

Is this Australia or Jumanji? Christ!

نقله؟

Australia is absolute hell!!

Најпрво пожари, а сега град со големина на голф топки. Австралија денес

I see this as a positive. After so much fire and dust, cooler temperatures and ice will help the land to recover. Nature is amazing!

Whenever they killed camels they will be suffer badly

Y la lluvia con hielo 🙁🙁 MiryAyala

Poor camels. They died for nothing.

This makes a lot of sense since rain, in order to occur, needs a piece of dust to coalesce around. The huge wild fires have thrown up huge amounts of particulates that now have spawned huge hailstones.

Wow!

It's aliens.

😮

Locusts next.

One can only hope this helps with fighting the wildfires in Australia.

God is punishing them for their sins... and I love it!!!

As if they haven’t suffered enough

Beggars can’t be choosers

🙏🙏🙏
