I hate hail...
We got the biggest hail storm I had ever seen.
1-2" hail. It put dents in my A/C units, tore through brand new thick grille covers, destroyed the top of my camper, knocked a crapload of sand off my roof, and damaged the piss out of my C10's brand new trim. Luckily, the old girl appears to be mostly undamaged bodywise, there's a ripple or two, but for the most part, those may have already been there. It even broke a turn signal lens. My wife's 2011 Mustang wasn't so lucky. It's destroyed. Every panel looks like a hammer was taken to it (roof, hood, trunk, fenders, doors, quarters, EVERYTHING!), the dents are so hard and deep that it cracked the paint on the hood and roof. She cried for two days. I'm guessing that's going to take 4-5K to fix. Anyway, I took these about an hour and a half after it happened, so these had actually melted quite a bit. She said the yard looked like it had snowed 2". I was also very lucky my brand new $44K truck was still at work with me.
