The ice crashed through the roof of the chalet on Saturday. Although it caused significant damage, no one was hurt.

They’re formed in the upper atmosphere in clear skies. More than 50 have been reported since the year 2000. One weighing 50 kilos fell in Brazil and in the same year several rained on Madrid for several days.
