schmidty, my grandad feels your pain. His BF wagon has about 22,000km on it and has severe hail damage all across the roof, bonnet, doors, shattered windscreen(hit in multiple places)
he has roof tiles cracked a plenty, his new solar hotwater system shattered, sky light shattered..
The race car has a smashed windscreen(one place), and plenty of dents to match..
Canvas canopy out the back has rips and tears all through it(was new a few weeks back)
Fortunately he has insurance for all these items, so he should be fine..
My mums car however, didn't have insurance, and she was driving through the hailstones, she has dents all over her volvo, fortunately no cracked windscreens..
Mum said the hailstones were the size of golf balls, grandad said they were much bigger where he was.
At home we didn't get hail, but we had the house filling up with water as the gutters overflowed from the massive instantaneous downpour..
My missus was watching lightning strike the tarmac at perth airport a 10-20m from where her building is, the passengers in the planes that were forced grounded, had to stay onboard until it passed.
I'm sure there are others much worse off too...
