Damn, you guys are having all the fun..:frown:

(BTW, 40's don't dimple, they are made of real steel):D
 
Holy krap Brad, where was this? :eek:I had to harvest about 5 pounds of peppers due to broken branches, otherwise, it just made a mess.:meh:
 
Our 04 4Runner suffered thirty to forty small dents from hail yesterday on I-10 just before 5:00 PM.

Seen at least ten vehicles with broken glass. Most of these were the back glass in hatchback models. Did see a few driver's side glass knocked out. We were heading west and the strom was heading northwest. I wonder if it took out some windshields on driver's heading east.

My wife works at Bell Honda (7th Ave & Bell) she called me when the golf-ball hail was falling almost horizontally... :eek: Her CR-V has 2 broken tail lights, a broken driver's side mirror, and about 20 dimples. About 30 of the vehicles had various damage. Gotta love AZ weather.
 
Thankfully our dealership didnt get hail but we did get some funny looking low looking rotational clouds that looked like an idea of a tornado before breaking up.

Anyway, some of our rentals were out and about in town and got hammered by the hail. Heres a 2010 Rav4 - look closely and you can see the reflection on the tops and sides of the many , many hail impacts. her children were in the back seat while she was in McDonalds when it hit. Thankfully everyone is ok but a scary event for the kids.

Mythbusters proved that golf-ball sized dimples does improve the milage somewhat......

We took some serious damage at our place. Lost 4 windows at the house, my 62 got pummeled broken tail lights, driver side power mirror, front parking light, driver side rear quarter Toyota Land Cruiser plaquered knocked off the rig, rear window wiper and front windshield wipers broken off, entire driver side, the hood and roof dimpled well over 200 counted before I stopped. It also shredded our gazebo, tore a cactus down, stripped our lemon tree and orange tree. I was picking baseball size hail up 30' into my house from where it exploded the windows. It also ripped the roof up, broke the gauge on my gas BBQ on my back porch, and shredded numerous small shrubs and screens. Here are a few photos of the house windows and gazebo roof.

Not sure when the adjuster is going to be here. We were told that they are going in order of severity. As for the 62, it is a heart-breaker. It only had collision coverage and no comprehensive. We were already told that our home owners policy isn't going to cover it. I guess I just start looking for those replacement parts again. Not like I haven't been there before. I had already replaced the hood and both front fenders. What's important is that none of the dogs were injured, nor was my son or I, and that my fiancée made it home safe.

I gotta say it was really surreal to watch it all happen at first, and then after getting sprayed with glass shards and having baseball size hail bouncing around the room, the adrenaline kicked in and survival mode was fore front. The whole front and south-side of the house were just getting hammered as my son and I grabbed the dogs up and headed towards the opposite side of the house into the master bedroom. I could hear my car alarm, as well as my neighbors brand new camaro's alarm, screaming. I knew it wasn't going to be good at that point. After about 15 minutes it let up, and we emerged to view the carnage. I think the palm trees in front of the house at about 30' high saved the front bedroom window as they were in the trajectory path of most of the hail. My entire neighborhood is trashed, and I mean the entire neighborhood! I waited in line at Home Depot last night for 1-1/2 hours to purchase two sheets of 1/2 inch ply. I finally had the windows boarded up at around 10pm and sat down on the back porch with a shot of tequila and a very tall mug of beer. Jami and I were just in disbelief, but were thankful none-the-less that we were all safe. There were saws running and hammers pounding all around us until about 12:30am last night.
 
Damn Daryl, it looks like you pissed off some bangers:eek::eek::eek:

I'm glad everyone is okay. As Brad said, don't be bashful if you need some help with the clean up. You have about 120 brothers.:hhmm:
 
Hey Brad,

Do you guys build mexican style palapas? Thinking about going that route for the gazebo rebuild.
 
Thanks for your thoughts and comments Tools, Splitshot, And BrotherRob.
 
Holy Cow Daryl! So glad you guys and the dogs are OK. And almost as important that your tequila and beer stocks are OK. You'll need it to get through this one.

The damage to the Cruiser sucks no doubt. At least it looks like all the windows held so you can fix the exterior items when time and $$ allow.

Let us know if you need anything. We'd go through this every so many years in Florida with hurricane damage where whole neighborhoods were just hammered. Local supplies can disappear quickly but some of us in less affected areas might have what you need.

Post these pics on the Rental counter where you have them sign for the loss/damage waiver... :lol::lol:

Daryl, a friend of mine RickyD owns thepalapaguy.com. His palapas are excellent. I haven't talked to him in a while. Check out their website. Good Stuff!

Thanks for the info Brad. I think I have looked at his site before, about a year or so ago. I will also keep you in mind after we meet with the claims adjuster.
