Impressive, do we know how the summit looks after the eruption? Lava, collapse, etc.

A lot of capitals are near the sea though, which could be overestimating hail in the colder months relative to the hot ones.

It was also interesting to look at the seasonality of large hail. No big surprises, they happen mostly from May to September. Interestingly, the peak hail occurrence shifts gradually from June to September as hail size rises, which likely has to do with the more elevated Mediterranean temperature.

I also forgot to update to it that strongly audible hail roar (sound resembling a train, carriage, or sea surf that precedes a storm for minutes-half an hour) it seems only or almost only reported above 150 g.

Strong wind or unusually thick hail can influence (amplify) the damage though.

This is should be better than the central volcano erupting.

Luckily the swarm is dying down. And hopefully this is just a false alarm, or the lead-up to a harmless small or effusive eruption, but the worst case scenario is always there too.

It's hard to believe how insanely beautiful the Dolomites are.

large stone houses, may have debarked oak trees, and caused some sort of wind damage on a 4 km width. It only had a few injuries due to hitting only countryside. A powerful 1835 tor at the end of Aug took place in this same location and was more destructive due to hitting the city of Ciutadella.
