Long Island Hail Storm
So I'm not sure how many people are aware of the weird weather we had the other day. On Western Long Island there was a pretty horrific hail storm. And being in the insurance industry I'm getting a lot of claims
 My friend was working in the area that got hit and took some pictures/video and I figured I'd share with everyone!      |

The only natural disaster that can possibly do damage to my car is an earthquake big enough to bring the house down..
I love cali a lil more now after looking at those pics. Hope you get it fixed though |

That looks nasty, I got stuck in a hailstorm when I lived back in Greenwich Connecticut in my Saab which thankfully was a convertible which decreases the amount of horizontal panels that can be damaged. The hail was marble sized but nothing like this!
No damage happened to be though.

You know what's crazy? I work in Tarrytown, upstate NY, and I was going to stay late (till 7PM) if my girl had to work. She wasn't, so I left at around 5pm. It was like 6PM and my mother calls me (she works upstate, too,) flipping out about the storm, asking if I was still at work. I didn't realize how bad the situation was till I got to work today and every one asked me how was my car. I was confused until I looked out the window into the parking lot and saw some of their cars with dents all over them. I was like
 .I'm thankful I left before it happened. |

I watched this storm at work. It went right around us. It knocked out power at West Hampton and delayed alot of flights coming in and out of my airport.
P.S Z was in the garage.
