Good morning, Meg ((HUGS))

I’ll be signing off soon, so wishing you a happy weekend

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. I’m on the road again today and probably most of the weekend.

Howz things out your way?

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Morning, Ladies.

Not much going on. We're watching all sorts of wild weather going on in parts of the state.

Blizzard warnings are out for Northwest Oklahoma. Also there's a t-storm warning for the Elk City area for some hail.

Looks like it's going to be an interesting weather day today here in Oklahoma.

OU plays tonight in the NCAA at 6:26 PM CDT.

[MEG33]

Happy Weekend, beachy.(((HUGS)))

[beachn4fun]

Boy that don’t sound good.

Looks like a weekend to stay inside.

[MEG33]

I was shocked to see we’ll get down to the 30s this weekend early mornings..but we don’t have anything like snow and hail predicted..Stay safe, EGC.(((HUGS)))

[Arrowhead1952]

Well, the hail did a lot of damage. All the “low profile” vents on the roof are gone. The stainless steel cap on top of the chimney is dented. The entire roof has dings that can be seen from the ground.

Same thing with the cars. We had three in the driveway, and all have several thousand dollars of damage. My lawn looks like a practice green and every golfer hit pitching wedges that stopped on the spot.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

Goodbye dear

on the way out

have a good weekend.

[philly-d-kidder]

[E.G.C.]

Good morning, Philly. How’s it going?

[MEG33]

Thank you philly..I love that sweet graphic.

[MEG33]

(((HUGS)))How is your roof damage..car and garden?..

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning Meg. (((HUGS))) to you too.

Not good on the hail damage. See my reply #188 to Kathy.

I have to leave early to try to get more stuff cleaned up today.

[MEG33]

I see your damage report here..Oh, AH..because I did not have any leaks..and there wre so many houses with roof damage..it took months to get a new roof on..With all the adjustments, deductions ..and some extra repairs I had done ..It was costly.Of course my car wasn’t here so I did not suffer car damage.

[Arrowhead1952]

Well, we had hail stones go - not just through the plastic vents, but through the screen inside. That is fairly tough screen too.

Our neighbor has holes in her shingles. I saw them when I was putting plastic over the damaged roof vents on my house yesterday.

[Arrowhead1952]
