<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I too was pelted by hail this weekend. Only one car
could fit in the garage, my 2000 Yukon was pounded. Like Lance I tried covering
my vehicle. I put on a bike helmet and ran out to try to cover
it. There were numerous whacks on the helmet and then a direct hit on
my knuckle (boy that hurt). I used a tarp folded over four times and put it on
the hood, but it still sustained damage. All attempts to cover the top failed as
the wind blew off everything I put up there. It didn't take long to realize I
had to just sit by and be an observer.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hi Terry,</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>The thing I learned about hail this weekend is that it
is more than just golf ball sized ice balls falling on your house and cars.
They are rocket propelled ice balls. The same hundred mile per
hour winds that circulate and create the hail also propel them down to the
ground. I tried to cover my cars with blankets,but was pelted into
submission.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Of course its al
melted today. Call me Terry and email me off list. I'm in Plano
and would love to host you as a visitor at an area flying field. I'm a
member at them all.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>--Lance</FONT>

Has anyone been hit with damaging hail? I know Plano TX and surrounding
area were. I will probably be working there by the end of the week. Any
flying flields close? Terry</FONT> <BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
