yeah, we had one of the freakiest storms I've ever seen blow through omaha.
I was trapped at the gym at the time. we had 125 mile an hour winds (holy crap!) and you'd be surprised how much damage hail can make when it is going sideways. I thought the roof of the gym was going to blow off.I've never been in a hurricane, but I think I have a pretty good idea what it is like now. A friend of mine (a pretty big guy) got lifted off his feet and thrown about 10 feet by it.
on the way home I helped pull the roof of a church out of the middle of the road, and then stopped to take a picture of a house that had (i kid you not) an 8 inch layer of hail in his entire front yard. he lived at the bottom of a hill and the entire hill's hail sludged down into his yard. someday I'll figure out how to get the pics off my phone and onto the computer...
my dad is a body man, so that' pretty handy. He just fixed our other car from deer damage and now this! I think I am just going to wait until I get some more damage from something. I'm bound to hit a deer or cow or something....
