Default Just a little bit of HAIL!!!!!

I took these pics after a rather large hail storm rolled by.... Luckily my truck was tucked away in the garage.... Sorry the pics are blurry and crappy, but it looks like it just snowed... The hail at my house was larger than golf ***** and it came down hard!!! I don't even want to know what my roof looks like...

We had some of that crap last week. It was really early in the morning and I was sleeping so I didn't want to get up and see how bad it was at the time. In the morning I found I that I have hail damage on both vehicles. It's not real bad but it is noticeable.

this storm beat the hell outta my dealerships inventory, around 700 vehicles between the 3 stores(GM, dodge-jeep, and BMW) they figured an avg of 3300$ a vehicle(GM) for repairs ranging from PDR to panel replacement. I got lucky since I park mine in the garage, but a 3am wakeup call to the sound of golfball-baseball size hail was scary enough

Well I surveyed my house and the only damage I can see is that all my gutters look like swiss cheese... I checked out my attic and everything seems OK up there no leaks, thank goodness, I did not want to pay a 1% deductable.... So if the worst I suffered was some gutters I think I made out pretty good.



I almost thought about leaving my truck out in it and getting a new paint job, but my GF talked me into putting it into the garage...
