“I went inside the house and in a few seconds, I saw my vineyard going from a green leafy state with long twigs, to nothing, zero, with a thick layer of hail on the ground. I told myself it would never end, it was hitting so hard. The ground was white as in winter. It was very violent, you get hit in the face with this, you have tears in your eyes, and you feel lost.” French Chablis makers have been left with no grapes to crush after watching harvests get crushed by hail storms. Now, they’re ready to fight back with anti-hail cannons.
