All night (been watching NBC) saying not coming in my direction. Then 5 minutes before the baseball size hail hits they’re like “Hey it’s headed straight for your asses.” Lol. I will always take that rain but I mean legit telling us it won’t go much further south. Lies. Lol

In Round Rock, the hail fucked up cars real good. My truck has crazy hail damage and it cracked the windshield and broke mirrors and brake lights. My house has broken windows, lights, and I am sure the roof is fucked.

Top question for next house I buy. Is the house on a grid with a fire station, police station, or hospital?

Ours is. We never lost power during the Big Freeze.

What kind of truck? You may want to get it to a body shop as soon as possible if it's a GM or Dodge product

I’ll spare comment on those nails to note that’s a fucking serious piece of hail. Tomorrow is gonna be a mess!

Ever had a girlfriend? They strip the paint once they settle in for the night.

Seriously. If you have a hail damaged car, get it into the repair shop when they open tomorrow. The backlog is gonna be bad.

Dodge Ram. Called the auto insurance already.

Listen to this man - just a sample from Round Rock and one dealership.

Damn

Is it a newer model? If it is, and the shop has to use OEM parts, you could be facing a lengthy repair process as dealers aren't getting orders shipped from any of their warehouses currently.

I'm near Brushy Creek, and all cars that were not under some kind of cover have glass damage.

I lost 2 living room windows -- 1 of which was double-pane glass must have been hit twice and got a hole bigger than my fist to the outside air.  I already patched that until it can be replaced.  The other window had all kinds of breakage on the outside pane, but nothing came through the inside that I can tell.

Where I'm at in RR, any windows that weren't under a big enough awning that faced East got lots of damage. 

My garage saved any car damage.

As bad as the wait is going to be here for car and car-glass repairs, if I had a car with glass damage I'd hightail it to Houston or Dallas to not have to wait forever to get it fixed.

What a MESS!  FFS

Lemons into lemonade... sometimes dealerships sell off inventory at steep discounts after hail, right? I'd be in the market for a truck that got hit by the ugly stick if it mechanically is new. I try to be a drive til it falls apart type owner.

Looks like I'm probably getting a new roof. 

We just got a new roof two years ago, but it was a “heavy duty” upgrade, so the 1” hail probably didn’t damage it much.

1.5" in Hewitt.  Thunder and lightning and more hail than I care for.

Round 4 that came through around 12:45 had some wicked lightning.   There were at least a dozen strikes that hit 50-100 feet from my house.   Thought for sure I was gonna be down a tree this morning.

113 heat index yesterday afternoon here, then the terrible hail. 
Now there is a cricket infestation going on down in the Austin area.
Last week there was a 3.0 earthquake between here and San Antonio.
 

Glad I’m stocked up on ammo & Gatorade. 😜

Yep.  I can't sleep through any of that so I was up.  All in all we we were lucky.  

Honestly I don't remember the last time we had a thunderstorm like that.
