Two nights ago, in the middle of a marvelous lightning show, we got marble- and grape-sized hail. It built up in big piles. We got water intrusion in the basement. I was up till 1:30 a.m. with the water vac and started up the fans to dry it out.
Ground was still covered with hail in the morning. Went to work, came back in the evening, and there were still groups of icy pellets here and there.
Half the tree in the backyard is on the ground, leaves and branches torn down by the force of it all.
But what's worse is the scammers. We've already had people dropping by and calling to tell us that surely our roof is shot and they can help us with a new one. We've told them all to get lost. If there's a roof problem, that's why we have insurance, and they have their own people to look at it.
