Hail damage!

[gchemist]

The windshield now has a new shiner after getting caught in larger than golfball size hail yesterday. As for the body? Well I don't see any damage. I'll look very carfully before calling the insurance company. I felt like a ball inside a spray can. Hail sure does make a lot of noise when it hits the cab. I think I see some damage when I'm driving but when I look from the outside I don't seen any. Maybe it's the shade change of the primer.
I'm glad I was I was in BADBOW. My other truck would be a dented blanket if I had been driving it. I did manage to find a large tree in a neighborhood. I had to get off the interstate since everyone else was trying to find cover too. I pushed the truck hard but it did not help to run and hide. No traction what so ever. Now I have the choke light coming on intermediately . The light is not even hooked up to the carb. I guess I'll spend my day off looking for the problem.
Hail, just smile and keep on trucking unless it's bigger than golfball!!

You got it heh? I'm over hear at Reasearch and Spicewood Springs. We were preparing for the storms too but saw absouluty nothing. I heard Pflugerville
was malled pretty bad though. Glad you didn't get to much damage.

I watched it slide right past me. I'm 70 miles NW of you guys. That sucks about the hail though.

We had 85mph winds, couple tornadoes and golf ball sized hail. Luckily I was at home when the worst went through.

We got golf ball size up here. My truck needs body and paint job so no need to worry about it. Most of the time it just bounces off.

I was preparing for the storm here getting my burban parts in, and with no warning other than clouds, this wall of water just dumped on us. We then had 80-90 mph winds, blew down trees, telephone poles, streetsigns etc. A massive 10" limb missed my truck by inches. We just now got our power turned back on. Worst storm I've seen in years. I hear we're in for another round tonight?

I am praying Desoto and Lancaster get the crap pounded out of them with hail. It sure is hard to make friends when you work in a body shop.......

Odd, we got nothing but heat down here in San Antonio...

We can really use some rain out here.
If you guys get hit again tonight get some pictures for us.
I like rain and hail storms, probably because we rarely get them.

We got nailed again today and they say rest of the week more rain and hail
