I have video of the hail storm we had but it was stolen, along with our video camera. Oh well.

OMG, BR...that is some huge TEXAS sized hail!! Is the residue from asphalt shingles (composition)? I bet your landscape took a beating as well. One silver lining in the dark cloud...you will be making a claim in GA, not FL!

Oh, P.S.....it is 82 degrees today and more fires are popping up in the countryside. Someone get Mother Nature on the horn and ask her what's her beef!!!!

Yeah like the vents that stick through your roof and all the valleys in the roof. They tried to get around that with my roof but we made them do all of it.

Oh, okay, I understand. Thanks.

Apparently there are a kajillion people in line ahead of me for roof repair estimates, a prerequisite for the insurance company to file a claim, since we just got back from the beach last night. That's the downside to our being at the beach and missing the bad weather here.

At least it wasn't baseball or softball sized hail, that was reported in some areas of GA last evening. I saw quarter sized hail last night and a green sky to go along with it. The largest hail I have ever seen was golf ball sized hail, and that was back in 1998 when a tornado passed within a 1/4 mile from my house.

So I heard. We were driving back from the beach, and we were skeered! CNN on Sirius kept interrupting the coal mine coverage to talk about GA weather.

Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, my daughter's car has about 100 dings on it from hail. It also looks like we might need a new roof for the house. Check out the hail photo at http://home.earthlink.net/~beachrunner/.


That is some serious hail. Our roof had to be replaced on our old house AND the house we had just bought when we had hail about that size. It was a 3 ring circus trying to line up adjustors, roofers, etc. Good luck-

Thanks - it's a pain in the butt making all of the phone calls to get people lined up to give us quotes on the car and the house. It's amazing - dozens of hail dent companies have set up shop in trailers and empty buildings in town.

And bsmart, I saw on the ATL news all of the homes with incredible damage from the tornadoes. Makes needing a new roof look trivial. You know the weather was bad if they interrupted CNN's coverage of the coal mine disaster to report on tornadoes in the ATL area.
