Colorado Hail Storm

[MarkoPolo]

Well, it's been years since we have had a destructive hail storm, this afternoon our luck ran out! Near golf ball sized hail for about 10-15 minutes and then smaller hail and torrential rain for nearly an hour. Flower and vegetable garden pretty well flattened--SUV and truck in the garage....Trailmanor 2922KD out in the yard. Luckily next to cottonwood tree that was somewhat of a shield as the storm came from that direction. Good sized dents on the top front of the trailer. Surprisingly, the vents were not shattered but all the light covers underneath were knocked off, including the one in front of the bed. It was still raining, so I haven't been able to see the roof yet ( the trailer is up), but it seems the damage is only cosmetic. Still, it hurts to see dings in your new toy!! Could have been worse, there was a tornado touch down less than a mile away. Not sure about an insurance claim, as there is no way to "repair" the dents. Might affect trade value down the road, but for now I choose to look at it under the "stuff happens" part of life.
