“Carpeted.” “Accumulated.” Those terms are making people think that 1.5 meters of hail fell from the sky. That did not happen. A lot of hail fell and got washed into low spots where it collected as the water level dropped.
Physics and math are our friends. 1.5 meters of hail falling from the sky would have crushed every building underneath it and killed a lot of people. That’s 150+ pounds of ice per square foot. No roof anywhere is designed to hold that much weight.
