Wow, when hail starts breaking windows it’s big. Poor Camaros.

In some areas we had tennis ball sized hail here in good ole’ north Alabama territory. Which is why my 3 car garage stays clean enough to keep my cars under a roof lol...my neighbors on the other hand owe some deductible’s.

A friend in Cullman AL sent some pictures. Not only were cars destroyed but buildings were damaged also. I used to work in Cullman and lived in Hartselle.......I loved it there but glad I missed this event.

I work as an engineer for Toyota, and given my experience, there's a good chance that a lot of them will just be totalled under insurance and replaced. The cost of repairing severe hail damage, especially when you're dealing with 2-3" blown hail like we had here in Alabama, likely outweighs the cost of replacing every single body panel/window and repairing any interior water damage.

TLDR: Probably crushed...now stop, Hammer Time.
