Everyone fare OK from the storm?

the city broke out a snowplow for one part of my town. My street is OK but you can see a lot of weak fences and old trees got dominated by the winds.

Looks like the siding, gutters and downspouts took a beating. Haven't been on the roof yet. Most neighbors in the same shape, only one had broken windows.

Our whole yard was white with hail, but only leaves and twigs came down. We were lucky.

We were lucky, no hail here. Had some branches blown down by the wind but that's about it.

Strong wind, heavy rain and pea sized hail for about 10 minutes and then gone.

Unfortunately, it hit at the exact time a guy pulled in that I sold the '66 Malibu to and we were trying to load big stuff in the back if his suburban. Closed the doors, went in the shop and spent 45 minutes going over all the parts and the car. Got the car on the trailer with light drizzle and then he backed it in the shop to tie down.

I less Chevelle in the herd...  but more funds to paint the SS..cool

Caught the weather report, saw "greenage" to the west and went into "Oh Sheit" mode... got the F150 & the flowerpots into the garage, pulled the patio umbrella, and then WHAMMO. about 3 minutes of pea to grape hail, then a wall of water, and done.

Other than a ton of leaves/twigs, no carnage.
