    We had some nearly golf ball size hail here a few minutes ago. Luckily it didn't last too long.

    Rain finally hit here... but it looks that's all I'm gonna get. No hail.

    Started as marble and grew to golf ball size or bigger. Beat the hell out of anything left out. All my cars were safely tucked away but the roof may be a different story.

    The main system tracked just to the south of Lewisville. I was on the North edge. A little hail, less then pea size, and a lot of rain. I watched the storm track on the NWS Radar site.

    It hit just before 10PM at the house. Didn't want to go out and see, and it was still too dark this morning to see if we have any damage. We'll see this evening.....

    My truck got dinged up a bit, but my roof looks OK so far. We were on the southern edge of the storm that rolled thru Keller and Southlake.

    The wife wanted me to push SilverToy's car out in the yard just before the storm.... Instead I pushed the POSIV all the way forward in the garage and got 1/2 of her car in the garage (The Aluminum Hood part ). Put a car cover on it and hoped for the best. Bit stressful at the POS compound last night.

    Didn't get to see the Yellow car this morning but figured she would have called by now if there was an issue.

    My newly painted car (thanks Rogue!) now has 8 new dents in it.

    FTL.


    $500 deductible = not worth it.

    Jesus Christ that sucks. Keep a lookout for when that good PDR guy comes back into town, he might be able to get most of them. He should be coming back now that we have had some hail.

    I also have a few dents from the storm. I have to call my insurance and see how much the deductible is.
