Hail Damage Blog

I don't have any news stories for you on these but I have confirmed them with eye witnesses.

Longview, TX

It looks like there is some light damage in Longview, Texas but it doesn't look very exciting. There seems to be a concentrated area of light hail damage in the middle of town with an even smaller area of moderate to heavy hail damage at the core. To top it off, the damage is not in a very good part of town.

Sulphur Springs, TX

Sulphur Springs, Texas seems to have a reasonable amount of light to moderate hail damage but, once again, it ain't nothing special but it is legitimate hail damage.

Mena, AR

I just wanted to give you guys an update on Mena, AR. If you aren't already there, don't bother. The circus has started with the usual suspects hanging banners and immediately low-balling everything. The last report I heard out of Mena was that there are now over 10 places to get hail damage repaired in town and most of the shops are within sight of each other.

Georgia Hail Reports

I promise, this is almost certainly the last Georgia update. The word I'm hearing out of Georgia is that most of the hail damage in and around Atlanta is very spotty and localized with several small areas of decent damage. I'm hearing that State Farm only had less than 10,000 claims in the entire metro area last week. It seems you have to get over toward Gainesville to find the wide-spread damage and that is where all of the dent guys are grouped up. (Imagine that!)

Extra

If you find yourself running down I-30 for some of the East Texas or Oklahoma hail, do yourself a favor and check out the North side of Hope, AR. I heard a rumor there might have been a stray storm in that area last weekend.

Good Luck and BE CAREFUL!
