Default The hail last night..

Scary... my car alarm was screaming at me as my car was getting pelted by this crap. There are a few chips out of my paint but I'm going to repaint it anyway.
Anyone else have any pictures from the storm and it's damage?

Our yard looked like it snowed. I opened the front door and there was a nice pile of hail.

My landscaping it trashed, the fence has little divets all in it and the plastic strips along the edged of the house windows are torn up. It could have been worse though.

The few shots I have. It was too dark to get decent shots of the yard with the layer af hail, but it was covered as much as on the porch.



Here are the divets in the fence. Nothing major just impressive because of the coverage.


Here was a Salvia bush that was about 18" tall.


This is what my tomatos look like after being beat.


It was mainly a gardener's nightmare. The plants will get over or be replaced. I'm just glad my cars were garaged and it didn't get any worse.

That reminds me of something I read.

"Only in America will people park their car worth thousands of dollars outside to store worthless junk in their garage."
