June 30, 2019– Mary Greeley News – So much large hail fell in Mexico, so significant that it formed real drifts in the cities of Guadalajara and Sapopan, Jalisco, Mexico.
Mexican city of Guadalajara on early Sunday morning, causing hail accumulation of up to 1.5 meter (5 feet) in some places, local officials say. Roads were blocked and extensive damage was reported.

“I went there to evaluate the situation and I witnessed scenes which I had never seen before: hail accumulation more than a meter high, and then we wonder if climate change exists,” Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro Ramírez said.

Numerous vehicles were damaged, roads were blocked, and hail accumulation was pushed into residential buildings in the worst-affected areas. Some streets turned into rivers of moving hail accumulation and several people had to be rescued from the roofs of their vehicles.
“The most important of all is that at the moment there are no reports of injured people or fatalities,” Governor Alfaro Ramírez said.

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 English Standard Version (ESV)
2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
