There was a huge hailstorm today during the only hour of the day that my car was parked outside. There are multiple small cracks in the windshield, nothing major but some are in my line of sight.

Parts of Massachusetts got hammered with it. Storms keep popping up every afternoon.

Holy crap ... make sure you look closer ... breaking windshields without denting metal is hard to believe. Good luck ...

I was a little concerned myself but things are all good here in Oxford. (15 miles south of Worcester) Just a little thunder and dark clouds was all. And as of now, the sun is peeking though.

We got some small pellets of hail lastnight, thankfully they melted soon after landing but made a hech of a racket. Nowhere near the size of the ones in your photo.

I got pea sized hail here.
My truck is okay and the Stang always hides in the Batcave.

I just went to examine the body for dents and scratches and I couldn't find a thing. Turns out what I thought were cracks in the windshield were just patches of some sticky residue that I also found on other parts of the car, they came right out with windex. There are other small chips in the glass but I believe they were already there. How is it possible for there to be no damage after a car is hit with hundreds of golf ball sized pieces of ice?

Just rain here in Douglas. My brother-in-law works in Whitinsville and had hail there. He has heard there was hail and SNOW in Rhode Island!

My paint chips just by looking at it. I could imagine what hail would do to it!

Nice. Gotta love the heavy stuff...unless you got property in it.

I heard that over half of all Allstate insurance claims are due to hail damage. It's believable once you see stuff like that come down.

Mmm, Oxford. Not a lot of 'Stangs...but lots of chicks on bikes. :P
