Austin Hail Damage?

keiffers · 03-26-2005, 04:59 PM

any one get stuck in last nights hail storm that came through NW Austin? Was at Town North Nissan getting service today and their lot got hit head on - 315 vehicles (included many Titans) had damage and subject to discounts. I don't like car dealerships in general, but I don't envy any of them that get struck by a hail storm. Hope everyones Titan's faired well - mine did in Round Rock thank goodness!

Keiffers,
We were camping at Mansfield dam. The storm rolled in and we hightailed out of there. Man, talking about driving blinded !!!!, we got hit pretty hard with the hail and the wind. Can't see 10 feet in front of us.
Fortunately, next morning, checked my truck and everything was a OK. My neighbor drove his car home. He parked it down town or something. Man, his car looks like the surface of the moon!!! ouch.

Wow, good luck if anyone did get hit...

My '86.5 Hardbody looked like someone spent hours hitting it with a ball-pein hammer.

a coworker was driving to Odessa Friday afternoon and ran into the storm outside of Llano - said exactly the same thing about driving blind. But hey, typical Texas spring thunderstorm - many others coming I'm sure within the next few months - gotta love how the heat makes them so powerful
