The Z is perfectly safe (sorry for anyone's whose isn't - I know there are a few Z owners in my neighborhood that don't use their garage...)

Here are a couple shots from the front door, which I could barely open cause the wind was blowing so hard.
( Click to show/hide )
Front door drifts of smaller pieces of hail (most are ~1" in diameter)


Another front yard shot - it covered the street in a layer of hail pretty damn quick.

Wondering if the 350 has enough damage to be totaled somehow.
There were warnings? lol I had no idea

I just looked at the forecast, and there doesn't appear to be any more intense weather projected. Safe to drive the Z today I hope since it's time to go to work...

Yeah, YNN was talking about it all day. I just woke up, still feel like crap, going to check on the 350 on my way in.

Isn't that a TW channel? I'm not sure I get it on DirecTV. Either way, we haven't been watching TV hardly at all lately...

It's not as bad as I originally thought, but you're absolutely right. I think this is the universe's way to telling me never to lease again
