Pictures circulating on Chinese social media show the locals holding sizable hailstones in their hands or collecting them in washing bowls. 

Roofs, vehicles and crops in the fields were seen sustaining serious damage.

Some hailstones were as big as eggs and others were similar to the size of chestnuts, according to Yunnan Radio and Television Station, citing local weather authorities.

Other news sources described the size of the hailstones to be that of table tennis balls. 

The biggest stones had a diameter of more than five centimetres (1.96 inches). Most of them measured 0.5 to five centimetres (0.19 to 1.96 inches) wide, said the report.

Residents woke up to find their cars destroyed, roofs smashed, crops damaged and streets covered by massive lumps of ice after the freak storm hit the border county at around 6:40am

The storm began at around 6:40am and was accompanied by high winds gusting up to 70 kilometres per hour (43.6 miles per hour), said the Yunnan Meteorological Bureau which added that such storm 'was rarely seen in many years'.

Streets were covered with hailstones by a maximum depth of 28 centimetres (11 inches), said the Bureau. 

The local authorities are currently calculating the economic loss caused by the adverse weather, it is reported. 

They have warned the residents to stay warm and take extra care in the next few days.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
