A strong current or difficulty finding a plot of sand on which to settle one’s towels were the least of beachgoers worries in Siberia over the weekend.
It started off as rain, causing people to rather calmly pack up their belongings and head for shelter. But what might have seemed like a friendly drizzle quickly developed into marble-size hail that pelted those still the sand and in the water, sending them running for cover.
“If we die, I love you,” one person said in a video of the incident, which occurred in Novosibirsk, according to the Siberian Times.
