Freak flooding in Guadalajara after a massive hail storm. Pictures on BBC:
Six suburbs in the Mexican city of Guadalajara were carpeted in a thick layer of ice after a heavy hailstorm. The ice was up to 1.5m (5ft) thick in places, half-burying vehicles.
[...] Hailstorms form when warm, moist air from the surface rises upwards forming showers and storms. Temperatures higher up, even in summer, can get well below 0C and so ice crystals form along with something called "supercooled water" which then grows into pellets of ice.
In severe thunderstorms, air can rise rapidly and is able to hold up these hailstones and allow them to expand in size. Eventually they get too heavy and fall to the ground.
In warmer parts of the year, such as in Guadalajara which has maximum temperatures of around 31-32C [(87-90 °F)] in June, more moisture is available, contributing to the formation of hailstorms.
Temperatures this month have been higher than normal with Torreon, to the north of Guadalajara, reaching highs of 37C [(99 °F)].
Hm, I wonder if somebody is going to mention anthropogenic warming with this?

The evidence that the climate always changes? Sane people didn't need any evidence for that since it is pretty obvious.

Why do people like you remind me of the old parable of the frog sitting in a pot that is slowly brought to a boil?

People like me who are actually preparing for multiple future climate change futures (warming or cooling) with strategically placed multiple residences, etc?
It is the people like you waiting for the government to do something who are the frog getting boiled.

And the most likely one is not what the fake news has been telling you to worry about.

So it is now necessary to believe in climate change, but to do anything about it yourself is trolling. The true motivations are obvious.

Don't know what your fear of gay frogs has to do with anything.
