OMG!!! Dude, I'm seriously feel for you and your car. That's some SERIOUS hail damage; almost like gunshots!

Thank goodness for car insurance!

Sorry to hear/see that.

I lived in Dallas years ago, and remember the hail storms. One evening I was at work and one started, so I decided to wait it out (I had just bought my first Porsche, and let's just say I was a bit anal about it... ). After a while it seemed the storm had passed, but a few blocks after pulling out of the office garage, it started again, so I sought cover from a highway overpass, but on the way home I got hit by a few hail, one of which left a slight dent on the rear part of the roof (so small that I'm sure nobody but me noticed it--but it always bugged me).

With the size of the holes in the windshield and the dents in the roof it looks like the hail was the size of a golf ball ! How large was the hail?

Sorry about your car, that was some huge hail , I happened to catch it on the news. I always wondered how the Prius would fare in a huge hailstorm, guess now we all know. I have been known to cancel a trip if there was a large chance of thunderstorms in the area, just because of the hail threat, yeah , I am anal about it, but I am retired , and have the luxury of having a lot of time on my hands.

I hope all works out for you, the body shops will really be backed up for a while. While bad news for the receiver
of hail damage, a large hailstorm creates a lot of jobs ( i.e. roofers, siding people, body shops) for a while after the storm. I have known roofers that followed the storms and made a good living for themselves.

Good grief, when did this happen? We just had snow up in the mountains yesterday morning.

We had racquetball size hail on lower grenville, but there were reports of softball size.

Yikes! As another owner of a 2011 Prius III, I can empathize with your pain. Hoping for a speedy recovery on your ride.

Years ago I got caught in a golf ball-sized hail storm in Wisconsin and was able to drive my vehicle under the awning / porch of a strip mall. Had to jump the curb to get there but only suffered one dent in the roof. The other vehicles in the parking lot looked a lot like what your car shows. Hopefully the insurance repair won't be too much of a hassle for you.

Sorry to see and hear Rick. Hail got mine last year, but windows survived. I used Toyota of Richardson and they did a great job. How is the sub holding up?

Damn that was big hail A few weeks ago we got golfball hail north of Minneapolis. Our summer cars sit in the garage so they are fine but we had 3 vehicals in the driveway and all of them got a couple grand each in damage. Hope you either get it repaired or a new '12 to bring home if it gets totaled.

Gaaaagh! Oh man, so sorry for you and the car. I felt a little shaky looking at those photos. Hopes that your insurance coverage does you well.

I have a colleague who lived in Colorado. He said that being a big hail area everybody had garages and there were lots of companies that did body repair at reasonable rates. I hope your area has some of that.

Not so much
