more hail damage 5 pictures

16 years ago

You know, I really tried hard not to look at my car, in my garage. Seeing Sydney's car, and the damage it sustained made me go out and look, and even drive it out and take pictures.

Looks worse in the pictures I think.

don't know, how I kept from getting my sun roofs from being broken:

most of the damage I got is on the front, the hood:

A few years ago we had a horrible hail storm. It sounded like a war zone inside the house and the water in the pool was splashing up so high. After it was all over I went out and looked at my Lincoln and could just about cry. It had dents all over the hood, room and trunk. There was over $6,000 in damage to it but they got it fixed up looking like new. I hope I never have that happen again.

Sorry for the damage to your car Moni.

Mia, I second Moni's suggestion of fried green tomatoes. They're good, and you can put them on a BLT sandwich as the tomato part with a little cilantro mayonnaise and they're really good. There's other uses for green tomatoes too, including green tomato cake which tastes like a spice cake. If you like to can, you could make green piccalli which combines green tomatoes with onions, bell peppers, sugar, vinegar and spices to make a relish that can be eaten with hot dogs, red beans and rice, etc. You can make green tomato preserves. The ingredients in green tomato preserves are green tomatoes, lime juice, lime zest, fresh grated ginger, jalapeno peppers and sugar. If you want to make some and need the recipe, let me know and I'll post it. If you'll look at the attached link, there's a list of green tomato recipes at the left side of it. Lisa, Luckily crinums are really resilient and should bounce back well. I'm sorry your plants got hit so hard. Dawn Here is a link that might be useful: Green Tomato Recipes

Now you know why Sydneys car was totalled! Crazy...oh well we have named her car DIMPLES!! And she is starting her saving habit....not like she didn't already have 3000 in the bank but she wants lots more and is saving her heart out....so go eat at her TGIF's and sit in her section LOL!!! Also after reading the insurance comments here I have to say that when we got rear ended here in LA. the person that hit my Tahoe had State Farm insurnace...the best best best company we have ever dealt with before noon the next day....we had it all settled and if there was anything that came up after they just open it back up, we had to get no estimates nothing...I told them I wanted my BIL shop in Texas to fix it they said no problem the had the work order and said that when we could get it there and get it fixed at our convience...I am going to look into changing from our insurnace to State Farm! The best! Stacy

hail damage to roof
Q
Comments (5)
In the past 5 years, we've had 2 new roofs due to hail damage. A good way to tell if you sustained damage is to check your downspouts and gutters for large amounts of grit "beaten" off the roof. You probably need to go ahead and call your insurance agent and tell him what you suspect. They will go ahead and have an inspector pay you a visit. The size of the hail may be the cause of damage, but I think the amount of hail and whether it was driven by high wind probably pays a part in it too. Our first hail storm resulted in approximately $48,000 in damage to the house windows,siding,trim,gutters,wood floor inside (because of rain washing in thru broken windows),fence,cars,landscaping (not covered) and exterior light fixtures. The second storm (2 years later) just damaged the roof, siding, gutters and cars. Im hoping for better weather this spring.

Years ago we had a hail storm, but nothing like OK just had.

A lot of cars had considerable damage, and after that they were sporting bumper stickers that said "BODY BY HAIL."

awww Moni...your poor Mini...yes it's still driveable but dang...it just ruined the looks of your fabulous car!!

This was our hail in February, 2009...It tore up our roof, caved in the screen enclosure over our hottub, broke all my gazing balls except the one made from a bowling ball, put holes in our plastic lawn furniture...thank goodness for insurance...it was some serious hail! most of them were golfball size, the kind to do serious damage to a car!

A large part of the cost is painting. After the hood is replaced, roof dents and probably a few others on the sides where the metal sides bulge out below the side windows are pounded out, the paint has to be color matched and the entire vehicle repainted. Three years ago, I had a deer hit that required a new fender and a the door re-skinned. The cost of color matched duPont paint was $500 alone - no labor. The hood, fender and door was painted. The total tab was $2200.

Was the roof of your house damaged? Three years ago, we had a significant hail storm and a number of houses were re-shingled by the insurnace companies. I had some big hail balls, but most of my damage was limited to a few dents in the roof vents that did not need repairing.

Jem, I wasn't at home. If I had been home, the car would have been in the garage. We garage our vehicles since the hail storm in the late 80's, when each car, and all windows on the west side of the house were damaged. Got a new roof then too.

But, I wasn't home. I was at a knitting meeting at a library about 15 miles away.

Home didn't even get a drop of rain.
