These are a couple from a friend who lives 3 doors down the street from us; I was still at work, so the Stagea is fine, but when Shell heard the hail, she raced out to bring her car up into the garage. Stepped outside and promptly got beaned in the head by a large hailstone, and in the shoulder by another. Retreated to the house, and rode it out. Her car was under a very leafy tree and this appears to have dampened the impact, but we still have at least 20 deep dents all over her little Mazda. It was covered in shredded leaf litter, and a couple of large tree branches. We're insured with Shannons, and they were great to deal with; they'd notified my repairer before I'd even had a chance to ring & arrange an inspection. It's not insured for much; I think they'll probably total loss the car, and pay us out. Ideally they'll leave us with the car, and limit us to 3rd party for the future. This would suit me, as we're about 6-12 months from replacing the car anyway; I don't want to have to purchase a new car right now. I can't imagine what yours must look like Terry; at least we had a bit of protection from the tree.
