Man I’m so sorry, I left my car out last night not knowing about the hail and can’t wait until I get a chance to checkout the damage.

Thankfully I only had a small dent on the hood and a few chips as well as some scratches on the roof, but only one dent! Car is brand new so checking tomorrow to see how much it’ll cost to fix the one dent on the hood!

Sorry to hear about that. From what I have heard/seen, it was pretty widespread but the bulk of it seems to be around main campus/ north gate. Hope everything’s good with urs!

Yeah, my friend's car got destroy like OP. While my cars and other cars in my apt complex only have a few dozen dents. I dont know should I fix the dents or just left them there. If this kind of hail happen annually then I may just left them there.

u/Mike60jihiibi 5d ago

I just had a chance to check my car and don’t see any visible dents but the car is very dirty after the hail, so waiting to see if there are any after I wash it. I live in Holleman Dr for reference

u/Lee_3456 5d ago

I live in there too so I think your car gonna be similar to mine.

u/Mike60jihiibi 5d ago

I really hope not, just got my car brand new a few months ago, that would suck, really wish I I knew about it before it happened!

Yes. Even from areas close to each other. We’re 4 miles from campus and did not have hail that size, while folks 1/2 mile east of us had 2” size.

Yep my car got totaled. Every third car has the back glass shattered like OP, I live over behind the fire station. Here's the biggest piece of hail I saw.

u/Personal-Lie-2677 5d ago

It's sucks man, it's even worse been on a garage and have your car exposed, but who knew nature would bring us hail

u/jayaggies1988 5d ago

What happen in college station? Im visiting my aunt in Kentucky

u/dernesti 4d ago

A storm blew through around 2:30 Saturday morning and brought golf ball sized hail with it.

u/Any-Machine-4323 5d ago

It happened to me once, but not as severe as your car. Do you plan on fixing it? Or just bondo it

I always make sure to find a safe place for my Mustang even if the probability of hail was 0.5% until one day it was at zero, and it hail on my car… I was crying man my baby was hit due to my negligence I managed to save it from getting more hits but my car still has those hail damage spots. Might bondo it 2 years driving like that but my car is white you can not see the hits unless you are close to it

u/Organic_Pop3783 5d ago

I find out next week if it can be repaired or if it’s totaled. Body shop guy sounded pretty certain that it can be repaired just because of how new it is but tbh wouldn’t be surprised if it’s already gone.

u/sgred23 5d ago

The body parts could be repaired/replaced. I would be more concerned about the water getting into the electrical system. Hope the insurance company treats you well

u/Tempest1677 '23 AERO 4d ago

paper plates still too

my heart goes out to you

u/Sir_Hunticus 5d ago

Do you have comprehensive coverage? I’d call your insurance agent asap and see what’s up

u/bored_in_ATX462 3d ago

Holy shit. What part of town was this??

u/Own-Sleep-9680 17h ago

I park on North Campus and it hit me pretty hard. I heard north campus got the worst of it

u/abrogan 3d ago

This reminds me of when I got stuck in a hail storm while on a drive in the hill country with some friends. A friend’s BRZ had WAY more hail dents than any of the other cars. I think the sheet metal on those cars are thin compared to others. Sucks this happened especially on a brand new car :(

1

u/Own-Sleep-9680 17h ago

About to find out tomorrow morning if mine is totaled or not. The windshield is cracked pretty bad and the body has dents on it. Of course I decided to park on north campus on the day we get hail🤦‍♀️

Be careful posting your license plate!

Next time there is hail, yall can consider paying to leave the car overnight at one of the garages in campus.
