My car was parked outdoors at work, and a large storm passed over my office just before the end of my shift. So, we took cover in a secluded training room for about 30 to 40 minutes. During the storm, there was large hail (golfball to softball size). Real intense.

I made it home okay after the storm passed, but my car does have some damage. My front windshield has a long crack in it, my car's body has several dents, and my sun roof was mostly destroyed. All the other windows and side mirrors did not have any damage.

I'll be calling my insurance company and try to get a rental car in the interim while they recommend a good repair shop.

That last photo I cant figure out if thats a shed in the middle of the street or what. But neighbors car is probably totaled. And the Garage (maybe house) looks to have collapsed there.

And what is that Dirt line next to the brown fence?
