Hail damages vineyards in Bordeaux


Diluvian rain, hailstones, and tornadoes left these Bordeaux vines seriously damaged just at the end of flowering. The storms were not predicted and 50 mm of rain fell in 10 minutes as a tornado spun across the vineyards. Estimates are that 50-60% of the crop was lost near the epicenter of the storm. The buildings seem to have been spared.
