Ahhh hail!
So, as luck would have it, my house and car just got nailed by hail.
I live in Denver, did anyone else get hit tonight? Looks like I will be getting my roof replaced. I hope everyone is well. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

I don't miss that part of living in the west. We had a hail storm once that left hail over two feet deep and destroyed houses, cars, and crops for miles.

Ouch. Hate hail.
I went through a hail storm when I lived in Europe that totaled both of my cars (and MANY others) - and took the stucco off of buildings. (Golf ball to baseball size. Needless to say - when the weathermen predict it...I head for the ‘hills’ and at least get the cars in the garage. Glad you’re safe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Oh yeah! that's hail! Golf-ball size and up does a lot of damage. Lot of damaged cars, particularly on car-lots. Requires some care buying a car in the next 12 months. Always the same after floods too.

I had a truck totaled by hail that size. The hail storm was accompanied by a tornado. So much fun

Wow! Those are some big chunks of ice to be falling on your car and roof. Hope everything works out for the best.
