Hailstones the size of boulders have rained down on villages in southernIndia.

At least nine people were killed when the violent weather hit several villages in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

The hailstorm which lasted for almost 20 minutes, destroyed crops, houses and live stock, causing devastating financial implications for residents.

Some women were seen attempting to sweep up the massive boulders using flimsy brushes more suited to lighter debris.

The storm in the south was extremely rare as the deadliest hailstorms, and perhaps the largest hailstones, in the world occur on the Deccan Plateau of northernIndiaand inBangladesh.
