A typical nighttime thunderstorm gone terribly noisy. This one started like any other, then built in intensity. Random loud, metallic plinking noises woke us up. It took a minute to figure out the source. Soon enough, hail – big hail – came down in sheets. The noise was deafening. It probably lasted for about 10 minutes. We went outside to survey the scene near the end.
We were thankful our cars were in the garage! Many, many automobiles in a wide area around us, including some belonging to friends, were battered.
Our roof has not yet been inspected, but it’s probably going to have to be replaced.
(It was, along with every single home within a five mile radius.)
