Fred,
Yes, here in our community there are some autos that have holes and tears in the sheet metal from the hail damage. The Hardy Board on the homes in some places has holes you can stick your fist through.

The houses across the street got pulverized and I found out yesterday that the ones on the street behind us got it bad as well. Our house did not get any damage at all to speak of. The one next door sits higher on the lot and has a higher roof, so it blocked most of the side blowing hail.

The cars on the other had got beat up. They are actually not covered in really big dents but rather hundreds of thousands of small ones. There are a couple that I cannot cover with the palm of my hand but most you can cover with dimes.

We really got lucky as far as the real damage. Some people have had to move out of the houses. The funny thing is the storm chasers (contractors) in the community. We have had them from as far away as Denver and Phoenix.

I did talk to a PDR guy and he said the car could be fixed for the most part. So I am still working with the Insurance company to not total it. I really don't want to go that route. I know most have told me to let it go but the car is paid for and still runs really nice. It puts us in a little dilemma for sure.

I will definitely fix the truck. They allowed for a new hood and new roof on the truck, but I don't want them cutting the roof off the truck so I will probably live with the ones the can't PDR out. It is just that there are so damn many of them. Over a 12" x 12" area there are several hundred dents.
