    No dents that I could find. I was in the middle of downtown when it hit and I ducked into a parking deck. Your video doesn't really show the pure volume of hail. It was coming down like a white storm for about 5 minutes.

    Fort Worth is all sunshine...

    I haven't fixed the previous hail damage yet, so when I do, it will surely hail in Fort Worth again.

    Do you live downtown?

    We were just east of Terrell when we hit it (were driving to Tn) lucky for me I was in the Saturn It sounded like a drum inside the car. I'm really glad the sunroof window didn't bust out.

    And I didn't care about the hood since it's getting replaced by insurance soon anyway.

    My wife said we had some pea sized hail at the house in Murphy. All we had at my office in Garland was heavy rain, but of course I had my windows cracked when it started coming down.

    I didn't know it was this bad... I got out to the RC field around 6PM yesterday and we saw the storm. It was calm until then then it started blowing like crazy.

    Sometimes I hate Texas weather, but I like it too much here

    A single big dent right in the middle of the hood conveniently positioned so that I can't, not see it while driving the car. So ticked.
