It was incredibly intense. It was incredibly LOUD! It was especially alarming when the hail starting cracking the windshield. Poor Nicole in the passenger seat was really squirming. I told it was fine, because they design windshields not to shatter. When we got home, she noticed there were little pieces of glass on the dashboard.
Ellea counted 27 points of impact on the windshield and 43 (or more) on the hood and roof. Turns out there are dents in almost every body panel.
But, no biggie, because we have insurance, right?
Right? . . . .
Um, no. I'm sorry, you forgot to pay your premium and your insurance EXPIRED two days before the hail storm. . . . That was a major heart breaker. Glenn and I both felt terrible for not paying the bill. What if we'd been in an accident?
No big surprise, Progressive denied our claim. Who could blame them?
Big surprise, my husband with his magical powers of persuasion, got on the phone and convinced some guy in Boise that because we'd been with Progressive for 12 years that they should pay for the damage.
God is good!
Moral of the story? Stay home during hail storms, and pay your bills on time!

Holy crappolla! Good thing you have a sweet talkin' hubby! If it makes you feel any better, my 2012 Subby with less than 10K miles is going in for an estimate Monday. Marv counted over 30 dents in almost every panel too. It got my window, but not as bad as yours. Marv's 'yota got hit too, but we only have liability on it, so he is screwed on that one. Luckily, I had my big pickup and trailer in Dayton for the mule show and we didn't get anything over there. We came back behind the storm the whole way. Marv was home and said it was amazing.
