A 20-month-old child has died in Spain after being struck on the head by a hailstone. About 50 other people reported injuries - ranging from bruises to bone fractures. (via BBC)
Firefighters received more than 40 calls from members of the public about damage caused by Tuesday's storm, mostly from the town of Bisbal d'Emporda.
One of the stones hit the 20-month-old child who was transferred to a hospital in the nearby city of Girona but later died from her injuries, local channel 324 reported. "The hail only fell for 10 minutes, but it was 10 minutes of terror," councillor Carme Vall told local radio, according to AFP news agency.Local officials have now reissued violent weather alerts, warning residents that more large hailstones could rain down on the coastal area.
According to advice from Catalonia's meteorological service, hailstorms can occur throughout the year but are most frequently recorded between March and September. An unusually hot summer has meant the nearby Mediterranean sea is warmer than usual for this time of year, making violent tropical storms more likely.Watch: Heavy gusts of wind force evacuation of partygoers at Medusa festival in Spain
