Now that’s not something you see happen on a red carpet every day! In the middle of the red carpet festivities at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, a surprise hail storm broke out and wreaked havoc on the celebrities and performers that were filing in for the big show. Stars like Noah Cyrus and the band All Time Low pushed through though and made the best of the situation. When life gives you hail…make lemonade so you can put huge chunks of ice from the sky in it? All Time Low were especially champs about the situation as they continued to perform even with the unexpected interruption.

Alex from the band tweeted about the insane situation, and they didn’t stop rocking out even after stars fled the scene.

Don't think we've ever had the pleasure of playing in a hail storm before! Thank you guys for sticking with us and thank you @MTV #MTVAwards

At one point, the red carpet had to be shut down but not before Holland Roden set up for an interview with a massive umbrella and a man hugging her while holding it so that not one piece of hail touched her.

Now that’s what we call taking advantage of a bad situation! Everyone else on the scene commented on the weather, with some celebrities like Dylan Minnette from 13 Reasons Why seeming to enjoy themselves before heading inside.

I just hid under a tent with the little kids from "It" to escape this May hail storm at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

It might be hard for the actual show to top itself as far as big moments go after this insanity during the lead up to the actual awards.
