EL PASO, TEXAS — An icy barrage of hail pounded a neighborhood in El Paso on Friday night, coating lawns and sidewalks in white as a broader severe weather threat set up across New Mexico, Texas and Colorado through Monday.
Hail Coats the Ground in an El Paso Neighborhood
Video from El Paso, credited to @Tornandra, shows the moment the storm hit a residential driveway and front yard.
Here is what the footage captures:
- Hailstones covering the grass on both sides of a front walkway
- Ice piling up along the edges of the sidewalk

- A pickup truck parked across the street as the storm passes
The scene turned an ordinary front yard into a patchwork of green grass and white ice within seconds.
