With thunder, lightening, torrential rain, and a massive hail storm, April “showers” heralded the end of the dry season — in a most spectacular way!
The evening of April 14 the city of Oaxaca and surrounding villages were hit with a freak hailstorm. Needless to say, I closed my doors and windows, unplugged critical electronics, and hunkered down inside until the storm had passed — which seemed like at least two hours. When I eventually ventured out, I found the apartment complex patio five inches deep in water, hail piled outside my rooftop laundry room door, and a garden of plants with shredded leaves.
Then two nights ago another massive thunderstorm hovered over us for hours, turning streets into rivers and sending trees toppling all over the city.
Will these April showers bring May flowers?

Wow! unbelievable
I know! Worst I’ve experienced in Oaxaca.
That is exciting weather! I’m looking forward to our downpours in central Florida. It’s been so dry! Still, hail I would not want. Hope that weather indeed brings gorgeous flowers to your garden and all of beautiful Oaxaca!
Thunderstorms continue but, at least, not the hail!
YIPES!!! …. and we are having beautiful weather…

The hail was pretty amazing and reminded me of the one we experienced in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas… only this lasted more than twice as long! At least I was inside at home. 😉
