About a half hour ago,I laid down for a short late nap. All of a suden I heard some large bangs on the roof. To my horror,hail was the cause.Some as large as baseballs.Never in all my years have I seen hail so big. I haven't ventured outside yet,to see how the car faired.We are under a weather warning for another 51/2 hours.Sure hope the hail is done. Tom

Winds were not an issue this time. They were actually pretty light. Tom

I never saw hail that big, that could put some real dents in vehicles. I would hate to be outside and get hit on the head with hail the size of baseballs.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Looks like I lucked out--only one roof dent that a quick evaluation revealed. I THINK THE TREE CLOSE TO THE CAR DIVERTED A LOT OF the hail. News reporting golf ball sized hail,but we were hit with the bigger boys. Tom

Several years ago I had hail that size hit a rental property. When the insurance adjuster came out he reported the the dimples in the roof were "consistent with hammer blows".
I wonder what that idiot is doing for a living today.

I've seen quarter size but nothing that size. Crazy,. Wildlife/livestock gotta take a whooping?
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Saw golf ball size hail once that lasted for just a couple of minutes. My secretary at the time was driving through the worst of it a couple of miles from our work. Her car looked like somebody spent 20 minutes going over the whole car with a hammer. I bet she had 150 quarter size dents.
The insurance company set her up with a company that pulled out every single dent without ever needing any body filler or painting. Looked good as new when they were done.
