Just about everything in Texas is bigger, even HAIL. This past Friday around 1635 the skies opened up and here in Pecan Plantation, depending on where you live (we are about 4400 acres), a golf-ball to softball-sized hail storm passed through, lasting about 10 minutes. Boy did it rip things up. No sooner than the last hail had bounced off roofs, the roofers were coming out of the woodwork, harking their particular company for roof replacement work. We got ahead of the curve, notified our home insurance agent at USAA, have an adjuster scheduled for 10-11 AM today, and a reputable local roofing company on call to also work with the adjuster. The roofing company’s rep came out Saturday and inspected our roof and said it needed replacement. We have three skylights, and the storm took out all three. What you don’t know is that the roof is only three years old having been replaced previously due to hail damage. So here we go again.
Here is a link to a DFW article about the damage in Pecan Plantation. Below is a short video I shot during the hail storm. It is shot from our front porch.
