yea, my roommate came home gripping about how he needed to move his car into the garage. when realistically 1 side of the garage has tons of crap the otherside had my car. so he wanted to move all the crap outside into the weather, while his 4cyc tacoma was safe from the elements

I got a little bit on swparkway by the honda place but it was not too bad I think. It started hailing so all i could do was hope. I think it did not get much over pea size by us.

I saw the small stuff and wasnt too worried. Just as I saw "at least its not that big" whammm!!1 a peice about 2in in diameter hits the ground right in fron of me and my roomate, OH ****. Then it really starts coming down, and everyone's car alarms are going off, I turn to my roomate, "its a good thing that my car ala.... oh **** its going off now". I haven't gone out to look at the damage, but if there is any I needed a paint job anyways.
It was funny though to watch all the people run out of there duplexes and drive there cars to "safety" like they could make it to a parking garage in 30secs or less. I thought it was really funny.

there was a storm that came through Fort Worth, and it was all being hyped up since like 8 in the morning about hail and all that crap. And at my job, across the street is a mall with a covered garage outback. My manager's were all going ape about all our cars and all that. we had like 15-20 cars on the lot, we got all of them under the garage in about 30 minutes, while pissing off other people. the only thing that didn't get put over there was the Daewoo Lanos....poooooooor lil daewoo but in the end the storm split around our area and we saw 1 downpour that lasted 1 minute and that was it. kinda funny situation. afterward some idiot in a f150 harley ed. was trying to do donuts on his 20's in the water....very poor attempt and futile execution.

right now my business will get very busy next week, due to people making hail claims. and we're already out of cars due to austins hail storm last week. so sucks to be a victim.
