Today’s forecast just said rain, probable thunderstorms later on and tomorrow.
When the sounds of particulate matter were heard from my desk (I have a cube next to a window, hooray seniority!), you can bet numerous co-workers hopped up like prairie dogs in a panic. Everyone remembers the 2009 Hail Storm too readily. You couldn’t get a rental car in Central Texas for weeks. Meanwhile, body shops and roofers received a mini-stimulus.
When I looked out the window, there was a van nearby. Gauging by the driver’s reactions, the cocoa-sized marshmallows weren’t wreaking any havoc. I checked out our 2010 Honda Fit as well: no scratches nor dents. The bigger panic will be the house but I think the shingles can take on larger objects.
