Motorists in the Mexican city of Guadalajara were left stranded in the middle of local roads after a freak hailstorm dumped almost three feet of ice through the city.

Sky News reports that the hailstorm hit last Sunday after several days of warm and dry weather where temperatures reached upwards of 32 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Farenheit).

No one was hurt during the storm but diggers had to be rolled out to help move huge chunks of ice from roads. Shocking videos and images of the city show cars buried and stuck in the deep ice.

Guadalajara is no stranger to freak weather events because it is 5,100 feet (1,566 meters) above sea level but it has never seen a hailstorm quite like this before. Interestingly, vehicles pictured from the city show no apparent signs of hail damage, indicating that the chunks of hail were small and not heavy enough to cause bodywork damage.

“What’s special about this, is the intensity of the storm and the huge amount of hail that it brought,” Accuweather meteorologist James Andrews told the New York Post. “It’s staggering. If you have intense hail falling along with rain and it’s happening in the same place for an extended length of time, you’re going to get tremendous runoff.”

Andrews went on to suggest that due to the topography of the city, it is likely that the hail ran off from higher points of the city and accumulated in a low spot, much like a flash flood.
