A vicious hailstorm accompanied by strong winds swept across Harare’s CBD yesterday afternoon, forcing many to seek shelter in nearby buildings. Motorists and pedestrians were pelted by the ice pellets during the storm which only lasted for just about an hour.
Most Zimbabweans seemingly were ecstatic for the rain which has brought relief from the heatwave scorching most parts of the country. However, there were mixed feelings over the violent storm which has already left a trail of destruction in some parts of the country, evocative of the Cyclone disaster.
