We had to put the Camry into a body shop to have the bumper repaired and repainted. Plus the trunk suffered some surface damage when we were rear-ended so it was painted, too. The work was finished yesterday afternoon.
The rented Dodge Charger was returned to Enterprise. Then we brought our newly restored baby home and parked it in the driveway.
Last evening the weather went crazy. We had hailstones falling which were the diameter of a quarter. The back door to the west side of the house was drumming as if someone was playing a very bad tune on it. The hail was hitting the ground and bouncing high to land twice. I expected little dents all over or maybe a cracked window. At the very least, the new paint job would be ruined.
No damage is visible. Can't explain it. But, thank the Lord.

I was hoping for a new paint job. Instead my clear coat is more than likely gone. I can't remember last when it hailed like that here.
It never hailed in the area I was in while in class. We only had a slight sprinkle. The sound of hail is not a pleasent one. I missed the entire hail storm.
Could have been worse...could have been moving at the time. Nothing to do but find the nearest tree and nestle under it. Looking like a baby Camry-Bird?
Once long ago, Zeta and I encountered hail while driving. We sheltered on the lee side of a Burger Castle. Ice was floating in the water all around us. It was like being in the center of a giant mojito.
