Default Hail in Oklahoma City

I hate asking this, especially knowing Mark just got a new Hood a couple of months back. Anyone sustain damage from this? Looks like it stretched from Edmond to Midwest City

I had a feeling that might've happened when I saw the OKC news mention that the path of the hailstorm went right through Tinker and Midwest City . How bad was it? Any damage to the house? We just found out 2 weeks back that the hailstorm we had last May did some damage to the roof

I think that the house is okay. My poor pansies were shredded. The damage to the hood and Curtis' pick-up is much smaller dents than before, but many more. Right now the Jeep is extremely muddy from my activities this past weekend (Boy Scout campout involving one vehicle rescue), so it's hard to tell. But there are lost of shallow dents in the hoods and the roof of Curtis' truck. My softtop looked okay. I had just awoken from a nap and noted how dark the skies were. Was in the bathroom and heard thunder. Asked Curtis to retrieve my drying tent from outside. I went to check the weather, but before I turned on the TV all hell broke lose. It was like someone was on the roof just pouring wheelbarrows full of hail over the edge. It lasted no more than a few minutes, but dumped a ton of hail--most about nickle size, a few egg size. Didn't see any of the big stuff they had on the other side of town (and like I had the first time my hood was clobbered). But, this was much thicker--everything was sheathed in white and the rain gutter by the house was overflowing with water and hail. And then it was over just as quick as could be.

Well, hopefully the damage is minimal and can be fixed pretty cheap with Paintless Dent Repair. Egg-sized hail - WOW! That's enough to do some serious damage to people caught unawares out in the open. I think the report said that some places got hail the size of grapefruits!!

This is not my house, but it's pretty much what we had ...

This is probably the worst--on the other side of town. Wait it out; it truly gets epic partway through ...

Late post, but we got hammered here in Moore. My Rodeo was Totaled by hail damage. (Needless to say, that enabled me to get my JK)

The house got hit pretty good too, we're gonna get a whole new roof out of the deal. Could have been a whole lot worse, but damn...
