    Default Cover up your Miatas

    This is the hail that's coming down in the Alliance area. Stay safe!

    10:50pm - Hailed for about 1-2 minutes. Largest I saw was about a nickel. Sirens beat the hail by about 30 seconds. Be safe all.

    I am at Rowlett and for a total of 5 to 10 minutes it felt like 20 guys were up on the roof beating it with hammers! I need to go up there to check out the damage when I get home. Question is at what level of damage can/should I call the insurance people?

    If you see any dings or cracks in your shingles call them. Be sure to check the side of the roof the storm came in from (west, north/west).

    Yikes, I got the Mini tucked away under some cover before it came but we only got pea size if that for about 3 minutes.

    DeSoto got nothing, but all the cars except the 92 Checy truck live in the garage these days.

    RE: shingle damage, you want to look for any hit that penetrates the "gravel" layer to reveal the asphalt layer, and wind damage. Most insurance companies will not cover hits that penetrate the shingle directly over a nailhead or staple, as that is from improper installation. If you got golf-ball size or larger and have 3-tab shingles, you probably have damage. If your hail was smaller and/or you have the heavier "textured" 30+ year shingles, you probably don't.
