Sweptline.ORG

was woke up by hail stones coming down so hard I thought the roof was going to cave in, high winds, trees completly lost their leaves, Yes the swepltine was outside, along with the Willys and my Wifes car, which has broken windshield, the design of the windshield on the 70 & Willys protected the glass, but after all the hours of work on the body, in one night, enough said I'm devistated, sad, sad, day, The house has damage, its going to take time to rebuild, so much for car shows neighbors all out checkin on each other for some of my neighbors had trees fall on their house, not much sleep

Sorry to hear that, Mother Nature can be cruel at times..... I guess you can be happy that no one was hurt.

Dang, that bites! Glad you are safe though.

It was pretty vicious down here in Parker but nothing like you experienced. Did you get hail damage on your Sweptline? That's pretty thick metal. Post some pics. Are you one of the 50K out of power? I had my roof blown off last Monday down here and it's currently covered with blue tarps.

Robin,
Sorry to hear the news. Does you homeowners policy cover auto damage?
John

Saw some of the aerial footage on TV and it wasn't pretty!!!
Sorry to hear about the Swepty.........

Sounds like a tornado, sorry for the damage, at least it can be fixed, good to hear you and your family are okay because people can't be replaced. Sounds like a good neighborhood also with everyone checking on each other.

Hey Robin,glad everyone is ok,all we got here was a little rain,hope the swepty isn't too badly beat up,if we do anything to help please let us know

We have a guy in our area thats called the dent wizard.He has some way of working dents like these out from the back side and never breaks the paint.Seen some work hes done and hard to see a blemish anywhere. Unless you were in in all out golfball size war he could do well....I had a similar experence years ago...had dings all over a car I had.Never saw a hail stone at all... My then 4 or 5 year old son found my ballpien hammer and "helped" me do body work ..............pat

Hey Robin, when is the cruise. I'm a new swepty owner and am hoping to have mine on the road in a couple weeks.

Jim

I know how you feel. Six years ago, a tornado took out all but one of my vehicles (I had 11 at the time), my shop and my house. Lost 151 trees, too.

Always remember - Stuff is just that - stuff. You can replace stuff. Any storm you can walk away from, is a storm. Be thankful - shiite works out, eventually.

Hail is not that unusual in the Denver area, for those that may be wondering. Nor are straight-line winds that whip down from the foothills at speeds up to 125 mph! The Front Range gets the very same weather we get in Oklahoma - tornadoes, ice storms, volleyball-size hail, tremendous straight-line winds.

Homeowner's policies do NOT cover vehicle damage - that is what auto insurance is for. If that were the case, no one would have insurance on vehicles. I had a car inside my shop that had liability only - guess what? It was totaled, and my responsibility to replace. I knew that beforehand, and sucked it up.

The Government does not "clean up". It's up to the property owners to do that, because that is their responsibility. On some things, your insurance covers clean up . Things like tree falls and such - usually not. That comes out of the property owners pocket. All FEMA does is help folks that do NOT have property insurance - and then, just enough to allow the house to be inhabited safely, or get relocated locally to a rental home or apartment. They do NOT take the place of homeowner's or renters insurance, and are not designed to..

Bummer! Feel for ya, been through that stuff my self.

I have family near Brighton and have seen the hail cannons they use to protect the crops.
Pretty amazing the damage hail can do.

I am real sorry to hear that Robin. Three of my cars gpt damaged. The sons Cherokee got it the worst, it was parked on the curb so damage on the hood, roof and whole right side. Wife's van got hood and roof damage. My CJ got very light damage on the hood, had the top off and it was under cover, good thing because the storm probably would have blown the sunroofs out. The '66 Galaxie was also on the curb but is not really showing any damage, must be that good old steel. Got really lucky my '62 parks in the garage and my wife hasn't yelled at me for that yet.

Robin, I have a good roofer if you need one. I own a insurance restoration company and am a Independent Insurance Adjuster myself.
Currently my roof is covered with blue tarps. Damn wind.

That was a crazy storm, some of my friends lost all of the windows in their house...

The only car checked so far by the insurance company was wife's car and he said it will be considered totaled. Can't get the adjuster here for the roof and with all the new rain am really worring about water damage, and you?
