Prayers for you and sympathy to those who lost dear ones. Funny shapes of hail?

I hope you don't get to see any bigger - it is devastating when they are. We live in a hailstone 'belt' where they are usually the size of cherries. However, every now and then they are 'golf balls' or 'oranges' and we have to repair roofs, windows and cars.

We had one hit central Florida about ten years ago. Had to replace the roof, all the windows (dents in the frames), two out buildings and the car. All told......$22,000. Oh, and totally destroyed all the plants I had just spent two weeks planting. My Gardenias and Camelias were just sticks.

Do you get that kind of weather often? I have a recent college graduate looking for a teaching job in the Carolinas-are there any areas you would suggest looking? We are from Illinois. Thanks

Usually when we in Nebraska get hail that size, we have dents and new roofs. Have an insurance adjuster check it out to be sure.

Wow, Sandi, that is big! I am pretty sure that would be a great reason for you and Danny to move to Washington State! LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Glad you didn't have any damage. God bless you. :-D
