Real disaster, extreme weather captured on dictaphone! This is one historical recording in Pécel, Hungary! On 9th of June 2015, a huge hailstorm came to the town. It caused the Lélek-Stream and the rain tunnels to flood the streets in the lower areas and the railway. Hundreds of people got stuck on the railway. 37 mm of rain came from the storm in almost one hour! You also can hear a few 3 cm diametered hail snapping on objects! This sound is recorded by my SONY ICD-UX512 dictaphone. I adjusted treble and bass with Audacity.

The biggest size is size of ping-pong ball, but we had mostly pea sized hail. Fortunately only a little part of our cherry yield got damaged. Some of the strawberries got buried into the ground too.
