Wow! I'd definately demand a new roof from my insurance adjuster, coz I'll bet that one's shot. The trees should recover. They'll put out new leaves. I'm not sure I know what you mean about "weighing a talent". 'Splain pleez. ;o)

I've always had a horror of my horses being out in a hailstorm like that. They have a barn they can get in, but the noise scares them too bad to stay in it. When I hear reports of golfball-sized hail and even softball-sized hail, I can't even imagine what it would be like to be out in that unprotected. I imagine the softball-sized stuff would kill you.

Rev. 16:21 reference. Each hailstone to weigh @ 60 to 80 pounds!

I've got someone coming out to look at it. Unless the damge runs into the many thousands, it's not a good idea to file a claim. I won't even call to ask, as the ins. companies frequently log calls of such a nature as 'claims', then use your past 'so-called' history to raise your rates &/or deny coverage for the future. It's a bad racket.

I think the ins. co.'s are getting hit with homeowner claims most heavily, and try to give the impression that it's MVC's, so as to spread out their liability.
