North side of dfw airport had golf balls and some baseballs... I fear for the roof of the VW.
That storm passed over my house at Hebron and 121. Won't know about damage until I get home in about an hour.
Damn, Samm! Such a nice car. Glad it was just material damage. We did a little better in SW Ft. Worth. And it isn't over yet.

Got some golf ball to baseball at 121/I35 luckily we have covered parking but some poor people that didn't park under it got smashed. Tons of broken front/rear windows and severely dented panels. It sounded like machine gun fire for about 15 minutes.

We had a bad cell heading right for us but it fizzled out 10 miles away. I had Richardson Auto glass out here at the time replacing the Miata's windshield and I asked him if he wanted to take shelter and come back tomorrow. He said "No, I need to do this now... I'm going to be working 16 hr days for the next few weeks replacing hail damaged glass."
I left work Just south of DFW and took the 95M home to N. Euless and got it in the garage before the bad stuff hit - and we might have had some quarter size hail.
The Red car is beside the house beneath a tree so I'll have to inspect that for damage later.
The POSIV got hit in Euless but it doesn't look as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Was one heck of a storm.
For once, got to work early and got the only tree-covered spot. I think I escaped the damage. Not so sure about the house yet.

No visible damage to the house I can find. No leaks in the roof.
Will still have it checked to make sure.
We were in SW Fort Worth during the bad part, only saw pea sized hail. When we got home to Woodbine, everything was fine. I think we got just a little rain, no hail or wind damage.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Sorry to hear that some of your loved cars got the unpleasant surprise from mother nature. It wasn't even forecasted on the weather channel! My best friend and I were playing a video game together when the hailing begun. We both grabbed the thickest jacket within reach, pulled it over the head and ran to rescue of our cars( pull them into covered spots). Gladly damage on both cars were very minor, thanks to our efforts.
Yeah mine got hit too. Looks like I'm missing some paint from the hardtop.
I'm not speeding officer, I'm qualifying!!!

Coulda' backed the 'LAC out to make room for POSIV - Hail don't get big enough to dent that Detroit Iron!
If I had know it was coming I more than likely could had both cars in the warehouse. I heard the tornado sirens and I grabbed my keys but it was already too late. Just stood at the front door and watched the poor POSIV getting pelted.
Note to self - Need to buy weather radio for the world headquarters.
If any one needs some PDR, I have a buddy that is in business for himself. He pull out ~550 dents out of my wife RX330 last year when we had all the hail and you cant tell anything ever happened with out doing any paint work. Guy is and artist with dents, very high quailty work, and very fair for cash jobs.
