Well, just had softball size hail with 70+ MPH winds and rain. Crossfire was badly dented, windshield busted and completely shattered, back window gone, dents all over, some as much as 2 inches deep. Shes an 05 with 40000 on her, hopefully the adjuster wont total her but we are pretty sure she will be a loss. My durango also will be totaled with no windows left, both mirrors broken off, and dented sheetmetal. House lost 11 windows and 2 doors. Thankfully we and our great danes are ok. Cross your fingers for us that we can keep her. If not the misses may be getting a new camaro.

 

Sorry to hear about your cars and house. Glad everyone came out safe. The new Camaro is tempting..

 

What city? I'm in KCK.....got off work last night at 10:30 & had to drive 25mph on I-70 to get home....no hail here though.

 

We live in Alta Vista which is south east of topeka and north of Council Grove off of Kansas 177 highway. Glad to hear yall made it ok in KCK. Cars can be replaced but we cant, and thankfully we had no loss of life just alot of damage. Geico get ready.

 

Sorry to hear of your problems. It is hail season, and I try to keep close to home when strong storms are coming so I can garage my vehicles.

I once owned a light plane (Cessna 140--older than I am!) that was in nice condition and quite pretty despite her age. I hated for summer storm season to come around because I could only tie down the plane outside at the little grass strip where I kept her. That made her vulnerable to both hail (soft aluminum skin) and even being flipped in really strong winds if one of the ropes parted or the anchors got pulled out.

Never happened, but I always worried.

 

Sorry to hear the news. Hope car, people and doggies are all a- okay!!! Best of luck in getting the XF fixed!!!

Hail sucks big time!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the cars and house. I HATE HAIL! We've been dodging tornados and hail in Denver and surrounding areas everyday for the last four or five days straight. Hope everything works out for you.

 

Very sad to hear about the damage. As H82BL8 stated, we have been having a lot of hail here in Colorado. Luckily my roadster has been in the garage for all of it so far.

 

Man that sucks. Sorry to hear it. It is totally inappropriate, but I'd actually like to see pictures. Not everyday you hear about softball sized hail.

 

Crossfires are selling inexpensively. Might want to consider a new one.

 

Post pics. If nothing else it would be cool to see!

 

Man I hate that. I had a car that got hail damage once. The biggest dent was right in the center of the roof. It was repaired with bondo. But a few years later you could see it through the paint (the car was not garaged). Don't accept bondo filled dents and repaint.

 

I feel for you - living in Oklahoma, hail is my worst nightmare! I can't imagine how I'd be if I saw my car in the shape you describe.

 

If you think youd like a replacement crossfire, theres one at our local dealership here in warrensburg MO. Warrensburg Chrysler Jeep Dodge, New Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep dealership in Warrensburg, MO 64093 dont let the price fool you, the first offer given me was 24k for it and that included a lifetime warrenty. Be advised though, this is the car they told me thats no longer built in Germany

Good luck, if I can help PM me

That's awful news about your Crossfire! We had golf ball-sized hail here last summer. Fortunately, both of my cars were in the garage. The hail hit the roof so hard that the cars were covered in wood splinters knocked out of the plywood roof by the force of the impacts.

 

Is Fred OK ?

 

Ever think about moving to the south? The largest hail I've ever seen was about dime size. I can't imagine hail that large!

 

Fred & Wilma are OK.....no hail here....just shitloads of rain.....& deer knocked down my fence & ate my corn.......yesterday I was in garden replanting OKRA (rabbits got thru temp plastic 6 ft fence), stood up & 10 ft away was a deer looking at me.....damnable animals!!!!!!

Day before, 2 baby deer got thru neighboor's pool fence & were running around pool....gates locked...couldn't let them out.....guess they squeezed back out.......no dead babies in pool today....today almost hit a turkey down the street...

I'm starting to hate NATURE!!!

Here are the pics of the crossfire post hail storm. Still waiting on the adjuster.

 

Those are painful to look at. I think I would cry if my XF got pounded in that same way. My deepest condolences...
