Everybody okay at your house, FRiend?

Thanks for asking - we're all good. We only got a few small dings in the truck, and I'm pretty sure our roof is alright.

At one point we were getting golf ball sized hail, and it sounded like it would come straight through the roof.

Call your insurance agent. Have an adjuster assess the condition of your roof even though it looks okay. It may be partially damaged but you can’t see it. This is the hail capital of the world. So insurance companies will get out of paying for a new roof if they can. If a certain percentage of the homes in your neighborhood have roofs replaced and you don’t assess your roof the insurance company won’t pay for a new roof if/when it is damaged. They’ll claim negligence on your part. They’ll say it was damaged in this storm and you did nothing. If it’s over a year from now when you do need a new roof, they’ll say your time period to file a claim from this storm expired. I’ve seen it a few times in 23 years here.

Have an adjuster take a quick peak at it.
