Golf ball sized hail came down in North Austin.

Five cracks on my windshield, a busted taillight, and too many ing dents to count...all twenty minutes before I was supposed to leave work. All I could do was sit there and watch it decimate cars in the parking lot.
You'll forgive me if I'm less than ecstatic.
wow...that blows
Sorry to hear that man.
Sorry to hear that.
Driving into work today (Technology/McNeil/183) was like a war zone. At least half of the cars in our parking lot are just battered... glass is all over our parking lots, etc. News was saying costliest hail storm in Austin history. The sizes of the hail stones are just amazing... coworker saved some that are a good size larger than baseball/tennis balls.
It's getting very dark over here.......hurry up rain!
Thanks. I'm mostly over it now. It should all be covered by insurance, just have to deal with that hassle. I'm not the only one though.
Sorry to hear that.
Here is a picture of another car that was in our parking lot. Mine wasn't quite this bad.
Here's a picture of a piece of the hail.
God must've been pissed about something.
That car got its ass kicked.

Jews.
That's crazy. The one time I saw hail, it was the size of a rain drop.
Gives your car some character.
Yea, my windshield got blown out in Round Rock just sitting in the driveway. Didn't see it coming at all.
Have any of you guys ever been outside during hail? Can it seriously you up?
Yep, that will you up.

We got hit with round two tonight.
Rough spring for Williamson county.
I'd just like some dime sized hail to come and destroy my roof. My car is already all pocked full of hail dents (Thanks Zapata County), so I dont really care about that.
We had quarter-sized crap for 15-20 minutes here between Brushy Creek & Avery Ranch in north Austin. You bet I called USAA as soon as we didn't have to worry about a window busting out.
And God only knows what the cars looks like, we'll see in the AM. My deductibles are sky high so looks like I'm about to be out several thousand dollars I don't have.
See the Chas y Bono thread!!!
Wow! I could see all the lightning storms to the north of me. Glad it didn't come my way.
Damn - that storm was ing at over 65k feet. Thats pretty nasty.We got hit with round two tonight.

I thought we were going to get some last night, but it missed us. It was very hot yesterday afternoon and when the storm came across East Texas in the evening it hit the warm air and just exploded. There were several tornado reports throughout the area.
I've seen golf ball size hail only once. I was on my covered front porch watching the storm when the sky suddenly starting looking weird. Suddenly a big ass piece of ice landed in my front yard in front of me...and another..and another. 15 seconds later it was coming down in sheets. I looked at the side of the house and it was piling up in the corner. I started to get a little freaked out so I went inside. The windows on my car somehow survived but pretty much the whole thing had to be repainted and the hood had to be replaced.
missed us
