Hail

anyone have some damage to report? I got few dings.

I hear it was pretty knarly storm on the south end. My corporate manager said Billings needed some asisstance for the next few days, as there was an overload of work due to the damaging storm. Yet, I am not going to make it due to being stuck in the middle of moving

I had to leave the driveway momentarily and then I was right back under our awning, so hopefully I didn't get pegged too bad.

I live right next to the damn sirens. Gawd I hate that noise. When was the last time a tornado touched down in Billings?

Few years ago in the heights.

Dustins STI and Shawns SS got smoked. From what Erin told me Dustins car may be totalled. Baseball sized hail!!

Adam Burt's Transforester got hit pretty hard too. He said his hood is destroyed

I cannot believe how crazy this storm was! Here in Shepherd we got about 35mph winds with tons of rain, but no hail and no tornado?!

We lucked out big time as it was heading this direction. I had a buddy that was about 2 blocks away from the Metra when it got it. Said the hail was pretty big and rain was insane!

Hood is gone and the roof is pretty bad. Maybe only a half dozen other hits on the doors and hatch. If I wasn't visiting my parents in the heights for Father's Day I would've been fine! If I didn't love my dad so much I might hold it against him. JK....

I talked to a buddy who was in Target when it happened. He said he was walking out, and had to RUN back into the store. I wouldn't normally think of a shopping cart as a deadly weapon. Man, I'd hate to go out like that.

We'll talk to insurance tomorrow I guess....

Sorry to hear about the Forester Adam. You should take some pics as I am curious.

well my SS got it and dustin sti it totaled for sure. im up loading pics now.

i cant say dustins car is totaled but there is a good chance.

I am so sorry fellas. Wish you would have been out here, all you would have gotten was a great car wash.

heres pics of dirts sti

yeah i work security and my boss said like a bunch of buildings are all EFFED up in the heights.

and flooding in Billings. yay for me cause I'll get overtime lol.

whoa...all i had were two tiny window cracks that you can't even notice.

yeah these pictures are nothing you should see it in person its fed up

thanks it will be fixed.

we are calling insurance right now. getting it taken care of it as soon as possible

Where are the pics of the truck? I want to see some Hi Res pics of Dustins car also.

Dang that sucks, I hope my truck isn't that bad but its a company truck so I guess I'll let the insurance take a look and see what needs to be done.

i dont think my car got any damage considering the steel is like 2 inches thick hahaha

Yikes that sucks. I'm glad we got out of there when we did.

Steel is the way to go. most cars are made of plastic or tin foil nowadays.

I'm going to work tonight at some damaged ...or heavily damaged tornado ground zeroo areas. I'll take photos and upload tomorrow....

yeah thats why im not a fan of most new cars they may be lighter but look at today. who prevailed in the end. hahaha just kidding

Wow! That's a shame.

Funny...my 07 civic didn't have any dents lol.....

guess i'm lucky.

Dang! Mine's nothing near what Dustin's is. My folks are only a few blocks froms Shawn's.

Their 78 Grand Marquis looks unfazed. It was parked right next to the TransForester.

+1 for lead sleds.

I'll try to load pics tomorrow

Damn guys sorry to hear! Hope you guys have some better luck on the receiving end of repaired services. . . I just be making the trip over to start work on the damage.

I'd get in soon to your insurance companies and auto shops. They'll be a long wait list lol.

i live right beside kfc in the heights my truck got creamed . hail size of golf balls (no kiddin)
not kool at all

well from the pics it is bad but to see it is a other story

My car got demolished. I can't take it to the insurance agents tomorrow but I'm guessing it's totaled. I had it hugged up as close as I could to my house but it still got rocked. My windshield is toast.

After looking at those pics, my car isn't as bad as Dustin's but still bad enough to be considered "totaled"

I live on Hawthorne near Wicks in the heights. My F250 has hail damage, but not near the degree of the Black STI. Man that sucks I know those are your pride and joy, sorry to see this guys.

My wife and I saw the funnel cloud grabbed the cats and went down into the crawl space.

Gotta save the pussy.

A couple videos, towing my camper home, it got the roof beat, skylights broke out water everywhere, my yukon looks like someone pounded it with a sledgehammer, so who is the most expensive shop in town when it comes to estimates? LOL time to work the insurance, thank god for full coverage.

Thats right LOL! Little turds were scratching & pissed about it.

to everyone with hail damage. give me a call. i can repair those dents and much more
406-696-6996

Damn some crazy events tonight. I was out in Laurel at the time.. lucky me. There was barely any rain out there. Funny thing, if you look at Dustin's STi there, the plastic parts look like they came out ok, (hoodscoop, front bumper) but the metal is what dented..

Sorry to hear about peeps cars getting damaged. I would be pretty bummed.

Was the hail before or after the tornado? I literally missed the tornado by like 5 minutes. I heard the sirens go off just shortly after I passed the Metra.

For a tornado as small as this one was, to cause this much damage, just goes to show how cheaply stuff if built up here. In some of the pictures I've seen it looks like the roofs were lifted off and the walls just fell in. That's just garbage if you ask me. Over priced shacks litter this town.

buddy of mine sent me this link

I live on the 14th block of Ave. C. We had mainly pea and marble sized hail. Guess we lucked out. The mustang and my wife's new car were in the garage and my old civic didn't seem to take any damage.
