Footage shot by the private broadcaster TVN24 showed vehicles and people passing through the flooded streets, and hailstones floating on the surface of the water. Poland’s weather agency said the ‘violent’ storms would continue into Tuesday, with areas of the west and south-east particularly affected by hail, heavy rain and strong winds

  1. When you ‘mess’ with the weather / mother nature in some areas… it might just affect other areas as well … and btw… Im NOT a scientist 🤣

  2. Europe have the worst weather on the planet. Everything is so extreme! Too cold during the winter! too hot during the summer or even worse no summer!

  3. A thunderstorm strong enough to produce a large amount of hail will also usually drop a lot of rain as well, which then produces situations like this where the hail gets washed into deep drifts and is left floating atop the flood water.

  4. Gniezno the 1st historical Polish capital in horrible, terrifying state. I'm really not superstitious but prior to that hail I had thoughts that Poland is really endangered looking what is happening now what external forces do in Poland, what their representatives do, how its development is suppressed. It's undoubtedly unprecedented. There were never such a ubiquitous scam, distortion of the truth, confusion and self-distractions and the people dazzled in unprecedented scale.

  5. Thank you 🙏 nice green place ☝️probably cold 🥶 water 💦 still people walking 🚶🏃‍♂️and be safe ☝️👍🎥👋☮️

  6. I would think those cars and buses going through such deep water would have ruined transmission or other problems. That looks terrible.
