storm damage

i swear...i can't win for losing. i left my car outside last night, and didn't think much about it. around 2pm this afternoon, atlanta's sky decided it wanted to open up and release fatal fury on everything. my entire neighborhood was hit with everything from tennis ball sized hail, and 60mph wind gust for roughly 10 minutes. i'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story....

here's the last few pics. the pics of the side of my house with the random holes all through the siding....yeah well EVERYONE'S house on my street has those on various positions on their house. just so happens for me, the storm was blowing towards my garage/driveway, hence why the ass end of my boxster took a beating. there's roughly 12 half dollar sized dings all over my rear trunk and quarter panels. the storm was absolutely INSANE! GA, has declared a state of emergency, especially after a twister landed on the GA dome yesterday, and destroyed large areas of downtown. so yeah...now not only will i be attempting to get my motor fixed, i need body work, a new tail light, a new top, AND siding replaced on the house. with that said...i need a strong drink...and a bible!

Bummer

Looks like my place three weeks ago. The Boxster and the wife's Benz were in the garage, but my new Sierra Denali pickup was in the driveway. $3,300.00 in damage. Still waiting on the final total on the house (7 month old house at that)

On a brighter note, your insurance can buy you clear tails, a GAHH top with the glass rear window, litronics maybe???? My truck is getting a new cowl induction hood at my insurance company's expense (they were replacing the hood anyway and told me that as long as I covered any difference in price, it was cool with them).

Don't get too discouraged. Lemons into lemonade

I can't imagine how you feel. We missed two biggies today, one went two miles north of here, taking its baseball size hail with it, and one went south taking its hail and tornadoes with it. The little lady was complaining that we never got any rain and I was trying to tell her we didn't want that kind of rain.

Yeah, work with the insurance company and see what improvements you can make.

OUCH!

Whadayagonnado? That's why we have insurance.

Fortunately, you can make it all better.
