Hail?

Anybody else get hailed on last night?

Im just south of Wichita, and about 12:30 last night one lone thunderstorm cell came roaring thru town and proceeded to dump golfball size hail which of course beat the crap out of everything in its path... Including my new 08 F150 Lariat with only 350 miles on it...

and my sons 07 F150

Yep, got the hail last night, just out side of Manhattan they had 2 inch hail, I don't even want to look at the wife's van, and i refuse to look at my Jeep, I would hate to find any hail dents in it.. cause the only dents I like to see in it are usually from trees, and rocks. The company work van still drives down the road straight, so until they pay enough I can afford to put it in a garage, I don't care about hail dents on it. hail would have to be pretty determined to put much in the way of hail dents in my 52, they made them out of real metal back then.

We got hail but it wasn't that big, about quarter size. Didn't seem to do any real damage.

We are in south Wichita just north and west of Duane and didn't seem to get any. No damage at least. And didn't wake us up.

I heard the thunderstorm come through about 3:00 am, but I don't think we had any hail out at our house.
