That sucks!!
Awful thing to go through. Sorry about your property. This and tornadoes are the biggest reasons I'd like to leave Texas.
Wow, that's not good for the shingles either!
Sometimes there can be really great deals on new car lots after an event like that.
Wow that's too bad. At least nobody was hurt.
That is some large hail! Lots of total losses for the vehicles when it’s that severe. New roof time at the house also if it hailed where you are.
Does crazy
Nobody makes a protective mat you could lay over the car before a storm to prevent this damage? Like an inch thick foam material.
My sons BMW and his house was damaged by hail about 6 years ago, not that size hail though. I cant remember how many dings in the hood and roof but know it was at least 25. Amazingly paint free dent removal place got them all out, no one would notice anything once they were done, except him if he knew to look and where to look.
Insurance company also paid for new roof on his house and new siding, he only owned the house for a week before it happened!
We had a bad hail storm in around 2012 in Calgary where my 2008 Suburban was pelted and ended up with at least 50 dents. A professional paintless hail repair company set up shop in a rental wharehouse. These guys travel to cities that get hail storms. I was able to walk around and watch the technicians work. Hoods are easy. They pop each hail dent individually with what looked like a rod with a bend in it. For the main body of the Burb, they had to remove the ceiling covering and pop the dents out. When I got the Burb back I swear I could not see any individual dents and the ceiling covering was perfect. Most folks in Calgary have hail insurance. I had to pay the deductible.
Fast forward 11 years. It’s still perfect.

Good luck with that!No idea on my Subaru damage yet. Granddaughter borrowed it yesterday. Don't know if it was in the garage or outside.
Maybe I should start a Gofundme account! LOL
Sucker all of you out of some $
glad there was no injuries to folks, i called my son last night and told him to put his vehicle in the garage as there had been hail the night before in southern nebraska and a well defined storm was headed his way again. thankfully he was on top of things!
good idea, need a good tie down to keep it in place and some side protection for windows, that should come in the 2.0 version !
It's really not a bad idea at all. I may be tempted to make one, granted keeping it in place might be a challenge. Cheap car cover maybe
