Everyone's car ok from the hail storm?
Because mine is totaled.
I have no windshields (front and back gone), glass and an inch of water in both front and back seat, and multiple 3-4" dents in every body panel, several that took the paint down to the bare metal. I watched the whole thing happen, and there's nothing I could do about it Just took some photos for the insurance company and I'll post them soon. Everyone else OK?

That sucks. Where do u live. Finally we get a storm that doesnt destroy the HEB area, not like last year and the day the tornadoes hit this year. I learned this year because it caused about 5000k on my Acura last year. When i got BMW this year i made sure i had covered parking spot. Lol. This weather sucks.

I live in East Dallas near lower Greenville/Henderson area. Both of our cars are likely totaled. This is the worst day ever (I know, first world problems, but still).

I luckily just pulled in the garage before it came down. Not as much hail here in Irving, but did see some golf ball size. Shattered windows is terrible too. How big was the hail there? Sounds like it was raining rocks.

I think Plano and North Dallas were OK. My friend in North Dallas said they just got a little rain.

DAMN! sorry that happened to you. We just got a little rain and I am just 5 miles west of you in the Medical District. Good thing I have a parking garage. My IS350 last year was caught in a hailstorm and cost 5k. =/ GL
Actually I might have seen your car a couple weeks ago. =) |

$5k in damage I could handle -- I just don't want the car to be totaled for such a stupid reason My car is my baby, and I have put a lot of time and work into it (not to mention $$$). Not sure what to think right now. The adjuster can't even get out to look at it until next week. We are having to have the windshield replaced on the Challenger by a crappy mobile windshield place just so we have a car to get to and from work in. This suuuuuuuucks

I had two cars in the hail storm that got nailed las colinas a few years back. M3 was 5k but fixable, sold that one. Tahoe got beat up, but my friend who was on their honeymoon parked his car at my place got his celica totaled(he was on his honey moon)! It was bbbaadddd. I feel for you guys and gals. I live close to classic, just some rain.

Sucks. I had my M3 out during the hail. In the same situation as you, broken windows and pretty much every panel has dents. Waiting for the insurance adjuster to get in touch with me.
Good luck!

I think it caught a lot of people off guard. I was heading home when the storm hit the Richardson area, but I only got a few pea sized nuggets. It was mostly super heavy rain that I saw. My house in east Richardson got next to zero rain too O_o, so it was definitely localized.
Sorry about your car cmyk, hope your insurance company pulls through for you. |

Luckily my car was unharmed. But watching the news this morning and seeing all the damage that was cause, has me a little glad that at both work and home I park my car in a garage. Hopefully everything works out for the op's car.

Damn Claire, so sorry to hear/see what happened!! You guys got hit MUCH worse than we did in Plano...I don't think we saw any hail at all. Keep us posted on what happens with the car. I'll be hoping for the best!

Damn thats terrible. My GF called me around 6 and said she had golf ball sized hail near her house, I was at a Starbucks about 2 miles away so I hauled ass out of there and parked under a gas station but it didn't come.
I'm glad I have a garage to park in at work and at home That sucks :/ Around this time of the year I always pay big time attention to the weather, and always try to park under something when/if possible if the weather even looks halfway bad.
