Default Hail storm 3 nights ago.

Anyone else get that hail storm that went through 3 or 4 nights ago? We live on the N.E side of gull lake and we got Hail bigger than i have ever seen in my life. Some stones were as big and some bigger than Hard Balls. My yard looks like fall with all the leaves and branches on the lawn. Crazy weather the past few years for sure. Here are a couple pics.

Never mind the yard... get up on the roof and take a look at that... you might be needing a new one right about now.

I went up on the roof and all is good as well as the 2 vehicles parked outside. I actually do not get it...My buddy had alot smaller stones at his place and he has dents in his vehicles. I thought for sure our vehicles and roof were not going to be good but all is fine amazing really Not a mark any where on the house.
