Went and layed down in bed around 2pm as it was raining. Turned the TV on to watch some shows i had recorded and i notice a little hail starting. 30 minutes later we had golf ball + size hail, window screens knocked out, sky lite busted and leaking in the bathroom, A trapped cat under the rear deck.

3 cars with busted windshields, and the typical hail damage. One of the cars i believe will have to be junked as every body panel and part on it got it bad. A small section of the roof looked like it was hit with base ball sized hail and pushed the roofline down a good deal :evil:

Hell my dad was coming home in his work truck and had to wait it out. Im on the phone with him and all kinds of cussing breaks out. I pieced it together and looked at the truck later on and the windshield also got busted out along with the hood looking like a fat girls butt.

The house took a hard beating. The gutters are trashed and broken in sections, the roof has soft ball size holes through out the roof ( Luckily they did not break all the way through!!)

Its just a total mess. We no longer have a yard as it flooded over with mud and sand.

The ATV's are a mess. Dash gauages busted out, a hole in the plastic clutch cover on one of them. I dont even know if they are worth fixing up.

And to add insult to injury, theres another flood warning coming up tonight :evil: :evil: Its not going to hold another storm like we just had. ****, as im typing this, the fog is rolling in again.

I'll post a link to the pictures as soon as i get them uploaded. Im sick to my stomach as the atv's 2 of the trucks and a good # of the stuff damaged was not covered by full insurance. Luckily the car that suffered the most was fully covered.

HOLY HELL!!! That's a whole new level of SUCK! Sorry to hear about that man.
 
:x :evil: :x :evil:

A REAL BUMMER :!: :!: :!: :!:
Good luck getting it all back together and I hope you have the right insurence :!: :?: :!: :?:
 
frontier gander, I'm sorry to hear that.
Been there / done that - I was in Moorhead, Mn. in the mid-80's when we had a similar type storm come through. It was almost as bad for us as the storm you just had. Fortunately, all our cars were covered at the time (I only had a motorcycle trashed). My girlfriend at the time lived in Valley City, ND - they had baseball to softball sized hail, I've never before or since seen anything like it - wood and aluminum siding literally beaten off of the sides of houses - roofs and windows were completely trashed.
Hopefully you will get a string of decent weather so you'll have a chance to clean up from this a little. Insurance companies can be a pain, hopefully yours will be cooperative.
Take Care
 
hail

Holy Hailstorm! Hey you could of been out on the mountain hunting or hiking when it hit. Good luck, that is a mess I don't envy
 
Sorry man. I've been in a hail storm before and there is abolutely nothing you can do... but nothing like yours. I'm glad that no one in your family was hurt.
