Josh Classen’s Wild Weather Week for October 31

Here’s a look at the wild weather around the world last week.

Strong storms in Spain produced golf ball-sized hail, causing widespread damage and destroying countless vehicles.

The storms were accompanied by torrential rain, with some areas receiving more than a month’s worth of rain in just 24 hours.

Flash floods in some parts of Spain turned streets into rivers, washing away vehicles.

At least 95 people have died and the death toll may rise in the coming days.

A rare sight in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), social media was flooded with images and videos of a land tornado.

Fortunately, the tornado formed over a sparsely populated part of the desert.

Despite being close to a highway, no injuries or major damage have been reported.

Tornadoes are extremely rare in this part of the world.

It is estimated that the United Arab Emirates only experiences a handful of tornadoes per decade.

Speaking of weird, there are floods in the Sahara Desert.

Recently released drone and satellite images show the magnitude of the heavy rains that hit southeastern Morocco in late September.

In two days it rained more in the area than it normally rains in an entire year.

The downpours have partially filled some lakes that were dry at the end of August.

It is only the sixth time in the last quarter century that rain has produced enough moisture to fill a Saharan lake.

Experts say the water in one of the revived lakes is deep enough to last about a year before drying up again.
