Hail Damage from Today's Sudden Storm

[SeanZ4]

Frodo, where in KS did you live? I've seen hail, hot temps, tornados and freezing cold all in one day many, many times! In '11 we had a hail storm so bad it completely destroyed my truck. I saved some of the hail balls in my freezer. They were baseball sized. We had hail here Tues. It was pee sized and nobody really notices it at that.

I have a paintless dent removal guy that travels the east coast every two months then out to "tornado alley" for their season. He does mostly insurance and dealer jobs. As with anything there are some good ones and some that are not so good. The guy I use is amazing. He pulled out what looked like an impact from a golf ball on my fender along with a few door dings. I've even had him work on my wife's Mini Cooper and he pulled out a dent that had a small crease in it along with all the door dings from inconsiderate ash-holes. Not sure if I am permitted to put his contact info on here but if anyone is interested you can PM me for his number He's based in N. Carolina but comes down the east coast to Key West then up the west coast of FL about every 2 months or so.

Home of Ft Riley and Willie the Wildcat...Manhattan. So many people think KS is flat as a pancake, and it's true for parts of the state west of us . But we had the Flint Hills, including a place called the Top of the World where you could watch storms rolling in from like 40 or 50 miles away. I used to drive up there and watch 'em approach (had an old, semi-beat up Honda at the time---wasn't worried about hail damage in the least!) The weather out there was absolutely fascinating, truly a Force of Nature. Kinda miss it, though actual tornado warnings were kinda scary---we lived in a rancher, on a slab: NO basement!

Hail here Tue night. Came up all of a sudden. Not very big - marble sized - but it was coming down with such force it seemed like it was shot out of a rifle. Lots of it. And it was cold enough the hail was still in the yard the next day. Never seen that before.

But all the P-Cars were tucked safely in garages.
