Any of you guys get any hail last night? We were fortunate and didn't get any of the large damaging hail but we got a ton of nickel size or slightly larger. The hail portion of the storm was over 20 minutes long. It ended up accumulating around 2 inches on the ground and up to 12" deep in areas where it blew up against the side of the house. All my plants and the vegetable garden are either flattened or completely defoliated. A power line at the neighbors house caught on fire and flames were almost 40feet in the air, it looked like the sun was out until they finally killed the power. It took until this morning to get power restored. The Tundra suprising doesn't look bad, I rinsed it off and couldn't find any dents off of my initial inspection.

Jason,
We got the same storm but with just pea size hail. I was keeping a close eye on it as the car cover on the G1 doesn't offer much protection.
