I have never seen as much hail as this before, it was insane. Golfball to baseball sized hail and not like one or 2 hitting, like in 1 square foot of space, it was hitting multiple times a second. Not a car in our parking lot was spared, 90% of them had broken windows and broken sunroof.

Anyway, here are some day-after pictures of the carnage.

I heard that one guy got hurt kinda bad. Our city is a mad house, there are no rentals (3+ days waiting list), I dropped my car off at the body shop on Monday while it was storming and beat the crowd, and they still have not even called me.

BTW, that is Chris's truck (the grey Xterra) in the pictures above.

Man that damage. What about the house, did it sustain a lot of damage? you need one of those metal canopies in your driveway

House did ok. I live about 15 miles from the office, and the big hail missed it completely. Just little stuff...

Yeah, my mom's house has to be repainted and reshingled, but no broken windows somehow. I live farther north, no damage.

Cole and Chris, should have went out there with a tennis racket or something, a footbell helmet and pads on, then protected your cars. Like any self-sufficient problem solving nimrod would do. Lol.

Thats some pretty intense shit man, hail storm like that is no joke. Come out of nowhere or weather guys give a good heads up?

For us, we had a 30 second warning, because Chris's wife called him from downtown (a few miles west), by the time we knew, we were all more worried about a tornado ripping our building apart or something. Our office was in the area that got the worst, I dropped my car off Monday, still no rentals out there, and they have not even looked at my car yet to total it or fix it.

Claire's dad was awesome and let me borrow a truck yesterday.

They are still out of any decent rentals, every one I have looked at is a damaged car.

The first car had a bungee cord and tape holding on the front bumper:

The 2nd car, the one I left with had rear damage, but it seemed good until the bumper fell off while driving down the interstate (that's it in the back seat)
