Default fu#@%^% Hail!

I just refinished our 70 paint last year and it came out almost perfect, then yesterday we decided to take a afternoon cruise, so I pull the car out of the garage and park it in front of the house, then my girlfriend says " lets eat something before we go". So in the house eating a snack when all of a sudden
I see hail bombs starting to come down bigger than golf *****! We just had enough time to throw the cover on and ran into the house. Well the car cover looks like swiss cheese and there are cracks on the right rear fender and also on the left front fender, and also some stress cracks in the t-tops! I am so pissed! The hail fell so hard it crcked our vinyl siding and put holes in the window sill and all the screens on the house have holes in them! I called Hagerty and they said I am covered, but they will only blend in the repair areas. I hope that this is a adequate type of repair.

Spoke- :mad :mad :mad :mad

Sorry to hear that. I had hail damage like that last spring. Golf ball sized for several minutes. Damages: Pool liner, 7' satelite, roof, windows and siding on the west side, Porsche 944, fence, shrubs, perenials, etc. The back yard looked like a giant with cleats walked around out there. There were golf ball sized holes two inches deep in the yard spaced 6-12" apart. It just shredded the trees. I couldn't even tell I had a driveway with all the leaves and dead birds. I wasn't home or I could have put the Porsche away. Luckily it was under a tree and didn't get hurt too bad. It was sunny that morning when I left the house. That's Ohio, if you don't like the weather just wait till tomorrow.

Hail? What's that? (ignorant FL member here...:) )

Sorry to hear about your car. Will insurance cover any of the costs?

Thanks for all the nice comments- Hagerty is sending a adjuster out next week, so we'll see how it goes-
