OMG! We just had a bad hail storm.  It hailed so hard that you could hardly see out the front window of the car, and the sound in the car was deafening! It lasted about 10 minutes and the hail was the size of small marbles.  It seems to have passed now though.

Yikes!!  I hope it is all passed!  I've had an eye on the weather all day today.  Keeping an eye on things. 
A few minutes after it stopped, the sun came out.  I looked at the weather, we are under a severe weather watch and some south and southwestern areas are under a tornado watch too.

It's been years since I've seen hail this bad in the heart of the city. Usually the hail strikes the towns south of us. And when it does, their hail can sometimes be baseball size.

So did you check your car for damage?  Your roof? 

We had a storm like that about a year ago that ruined our roof.  Dotties car got a lot of tiny dents, which we got paid for but didn't fix.

:yeah: the one a couple weeks ago is resulting in my roof and vent caps being replaced.... I wasn't home so I didn't see it, but Rebecca (TCS Minka) was sitting and said was pretty sharp.... Called the insurance and sure enough. My roof is one year old! :/

It wasn't my car, but by the sounds inside the car, there must be some damage.
