Hailstones the size of eggs have ravaged parts of southern China, killing 13 people.
Seven people were killed and one was injured when a bus was hit in a landslide triggered by hailstorms in a mountainous region of Sichuan Province.
The other six were killed by falling roofs and lightning.
More than one million residents were affected around the city of Chongqing, where economic losses stand at £12 million.
The hailstorms pelted five counties in Fujian province, on the southeast China seaboard, punching holes in thousands of homes and damaging power supply facilities.
The hail also forced a motorway to close and damaged crops on at least 81,300 hectares of farmland.
