We had a hail storm. this was not like any other hailstorm that I have witnessed. I dropped Natalie off at a friends house in the Cottages. On the way home I started hearing pounding on the top of my car. It sounded like baseballs were hitting really hard, bam, bam, bam. I expected there to be big dents on the top of the car but I couldn't see them at the time. The hailstones were misshapen and about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. We watched from the garage at the end. The damage was really surprising. It was like the eye of the storm went right through our neighborhood and destroyed every house. We had to replace our roof, our siding, a door, some windows, and our garage door. The car I was driving had damage as well, but not as big as I expected. It was the strangest phenomenon since the Eclipse. It was like you had no control and it seemed unreal especially after the storm, driving through the neighborhood and seeing damage on every house.
This was a house in our ward.
We all had to have patience on getting things fixed. Most people put duck tape on the holes in case it rained while they waited. We all had an appraiser come immediately, but fixing our house took a lot longer.
It happened April 7, but we didn't get our siding until the end of the summer. Everything is fixed or replaced now except our Garage door and it is October.
