Sunday aftermath...

DIGItonium · 05-21-2013, 09:17 AM

I had to attend an engagement party on Sunday afternoon as the storm rolled in. None of us expected it to get this bad. My goal was to go in for a little bit and then head out, but most guests wouldn't let me leave. It was calm and rainy with some thunder, and then it started to hail big chunks without warning. The winds kicked up as everyone started taking cover inside. Then the rain, hail, and debris started moving horizontally. My ears popped at one point, and some guests said the same. We couldn't see past the garage door as if a train was traveling in front of us. Front window of the house shattered. It was chaos. There was no confirmed tornado where the storm hit us, but there was an EF1 near the airport SW of my city.

Below is some of the hail about an hour after the chaos ended. I picked up several larger ones after this photo was taken. It was definitely larger than golf ball size, but definitely packed some velocity from the winds.

Here's one of several cars with completely shattered windows:

Here's what's left of my car. What's interesting is that the driver side is almost entirely clean of welts. It's just how the car was parked on the street.

Holy cow! Sorry to see that. I assume your insurance will cover the fix???

Jasonle · 05-21-2013, 09:26 AM

oh man... that sucks ******* ***! Sorry man

DIGItonium · 05-21-2013, 09:27 AM

I filed a claim yesterday morning. I'm pretty sure they're flooded with claims right now. The windshield makes me nervous since it creaks and cracks a few times while I'm driving.

So sad... one thing I don't want to deal with right now, but I was obligated to go. I thought it was going to storm all night, so I thought a quick visit was enough. It's definitely getting lots of attention on the road.

nooooooooo. so sorry to see that man!

this is the most beautiful z i have personally seen, so its rough seeing it like this

Nismo89 · 05-21-2013, 09:34 AM

dang...sucks man...hopefully insurance will cover it

DIGItonium · 05-21-2013, 09:40 AM

There's this golf ball dent from last year that was going to get fixed in a couple of weeks... some of the hail damage was much deeper. Plus, it cracked the clear. The dent on the passenger fender leaves me speechless.

I have full coverage on this car since it's my only ride, so they'll definitely cover it. I just hope they cut a big enough check to fix all the repairs. Last thing I want on my plate is out of pocket expenses.

dam that sucks big time. Sorry bossman!

2010ZilverZ · 05-21-2013, 09:47 AM

That sucks man ... sorry

DIGItonium · 05-21-2013, 09:48 AM

It's the price to pay for daily driving this car. Plan is to get a daily driver next year, and the car will somewhat become a garage queen. The plan is to finish the power mods and restore the car to a pristine condition when it exits daily driver status.

Sorry man. It adds insult to injury that you had a garage. What do they do with the roof since it cant be replaced?
How does anyone have nice cars in areas like this? I could not deal LOL

red2010z · 05-21-2013, 09:57 AM

I thought the rule of thumb when it comes to damage with the roof is they total the car. I could be wrong tho.

kenchan · 05-21-2013, 10:06 AM

DIGI- holy crap!

sorry to see this.
