Hail Storm

Tonight we had the biggest hail storm that we have seen since we moved to Austin 3 1/2 years ago. Jared was driving home from work and was trying to get home before the storm hit but got caught right in the middle of it. We had a window broken in 3 spots in out playroom and the glass flew everywhere. At the time I thought that there were a few more windows broken because the noise was so loud. We have some roof and gutter damage and unfortunately both of of cars have extensive damage.


One of the holes in the window.

The front of our house.


A pile of hail.

This is Jared holding a piece of hail. Some of the pieces measured over 2 inches in diameter.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had hail damage. That was a pretty vicious storm.

That's soo crazy. Sorry about the damage. Hopefully the insurance will cover everything.

That is too bad about your windows, what is your deductible on your cars?

That sucks!! I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, it is snowing here, even though we specifically moved from UT to get away from the snow.

Did it hit anybody else in Austin? I guess it can be really focused. We are still finding things the hurricane messed up.
