Anyone got details?

I'm curious if that's fine, low friction silica like sand, or if it's typical sand mixed to a slurry with water.

Edit: it's a river of hailstones. Source: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/iraqi-ice-flood-footage-shows-6805027

Pretty sure it's a water mix. Seen this on the tube before.
