Ouch—were those big enough to shred siding? Saw pics of a
few windshields smashed in from areas in the northeast. I only got
hit with a few ice pellets as I was covering the truck, so dodged
the bullets this time.
yeah ... was bad enough to damage the siding and busted one big
window (outside pane only fortunately) ... I had the roof
replaced with composite shingles 2 years ago to hail proof it,
worked as advertised ... lol ... ... now i'll have the
outside done with Fiber cement boards to hail proof that part too
... maybe i need storm shutters ??? ..... hahaha...
both cars were in the garage, so that got saved .... those hail
storms are nuts ... got 2 friends living in Livingstone, just
on the north side of the highway from us ... their houses got
trashed ... busted windows and water & hailstones
got in ... roof damaged, shredded sidings, etc ...

Wow. Sorry to hear about the siding and window! Good call on the
composite shingles, so I hope the fiber siding works out as well.
Shutters are an interesting traditional protection—may make a
comeback at this rate.
Got lucky when my car got caught in Kananaskis in 2015.
Autobody guy estimated 10,000 tiny dents. Gave it a pebble finish
if you looked close. Nothing serious, so I bought it back from
insurance for $700 and drove it until last spring, lol.
