Description:
An unusually strong hail storm whipped through Colombia�s capital, on Saturday, November 3 causing severe flooding and burying dozens of vehicles under the ice. Authorities say it is the strongest ever hailstorm seen in Bogot�, but despite several major roads becoming blanketed in ice, no one was killed by the storm.

Over 30 cars became stuck when a meter and a half (59 inches) of water and ice accumulated at the bottom of an intersection. Rescue workers faced great difficulty in rescuing people from their cars, with one fire-fighter saying �this is a special case because as we try and remove all the ice, it�s getting harder, making it more difficult to do so.
