Damage Hailstorm

I can believe that. I was in a hail storm that ripped apart my little town I lived in. We had softball sized hail stones that would come in through the windows on one side of the house and bounce through the house to leave out the opposite side of the house. We had hail stones that tore through the roof. Our house and our cars were pretty much beaten up. We saved a couple of the hail stones to show the insurance adjustors so they could see what we went through. It was not a scene that I would like to see again in my life time. Living through this once was enough for me.
