Memorial weekend storm
 

Did anyone else get hit by the storm Sunday, Brown? Our house in Ham Lake got hit hard. The Lincoln and M were sitting outside, as well as 2 trucks.

I am pretty sure the Lincoln is totalled, it must have 100 dents in it. The hail had to be about golf ball sized from the size of the dents. The M needs a new hood and a bout 40 dents pulled. I doubt it will be totalled, but probably in the $6k-$8k in damage area. My gold chevy in back I didn't have insurance on because it isn't being driven, it has some pretty thick sheetmetal though, it didn't take a ton of damage. My girlfriends dad's truck was right behind the Chevy and got freakin' hammered. It looks horrible. The worst part is that he already claimed hail damage on it for $700 and never fixed it, but this is 10x as bad as the old damage. I feel bad about that one.

We also have about 50 holes in the siding on the house. The roof is too high up to see well, but I am sure the roof is toast also. I'll try and get some pic's up, I know Brian had this happen to his house a couple years ago. Has anyone else dealt with this? I am curios as to what will happen with the cars. I would like to buy the Lincoln back and use it for a DD if they do total it. I haven't dealt with hail damage before, just accident damage.

That sucks JET! Take your cars to Dent Kraft for an estimate/repair.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

can you get away with PDR on the dents? or are they going to have to strip it down and replace/bondo the panels? We also had siding and roofing problems after a storm and had a guy come out with an estimate, insurance ended up paying for it.

Don't think the insurance company is going to like you after this :)

I was luckily out of town in Fargo, but I think it got real bad here. My buddy lives a few blocks up right by Lowe's, and he lost a tree. Luckily it missed his house and just fell across his driveway. My house appears to be just fine luckily as well. It got pretty rough around here though from what I hear.

Jet, I'd see about getting some sort of inspector out there. That storm that hit Rogers a few years back, well my dad had a few trees down and didn't look like horrible damage but a little bit. An inspector was walking around doing other houses in the neighborhood and stopped and talked to my dad because he was out working in the yard. He told my dad he'd do a quick inspection for him if he wanted. In the end, my dad got all new siding, and new doors on the house and insurance paid for damn near all of it.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

A few people I work with live in Hugo. They all missed the tornado by a couple miles luckily, but they all need new siding roofs, and garage doors.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

PDR is awesome b/c of how well it can take care of hail damage! Unless the paint is cracked, PDR will fix it better and cheaper.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Don't act like your my neighbor, i don't even know where u live!!! LOL

J/K, we just got hail and crazy wind here according to my bro. no damage here.
I was up north in aitkin and it was fine up there.

MunchGSX/Nick lives in hugo apparantly his truck is all fucked up and his neighbor lost their roof.

Apart from that nothing else to report.

Sorry for your loss though buddy let me know if u need anything.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Our old house in BP got hit three years ago. Didn't look like much, but we got all new siding, roof and some trim work paid for by insurance. All my cars at the lot got hit lightly last fall, I had to eat that one.

We got light hail here, but since we all have brand new houses, I don't think our roofs have any damage worth mentioning.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Ouch that sucks Jet!

Glad no one was hurt though, good luck with fixing everything up.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

My sisters house in centerville got hit pretty hard. Siding, garage door and probably a roof. They were out of town so that night I went and checked it out for them. It was like 2-3 hrs after the storm and there was still hail all over the place. Looked like it snowed at their house.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Thanks guys, I will have an adjuster out, they are doing a station where you bring your car in and they estimate it and write you a check on the spot. I am going to try and get them in to get different estimates before I go. Even the damn windshield on the lincoln is broken! I'll be checking out Dent Kraft when I get the repairs done.

I was able to look at the house more last night and the roof is in rough shape too, there are even some dents in the fake stucco on the front! From the size of those dents it was golf ball sized. Luckily there aren't any broken windows on the house, so nothing is urgent.

Brown, like I want you knowing where I live! ;) The Fridley house is finally on the market, so once I get caught up in the shop and get a few things done around the house I will have a get together.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

I lost 1 & 1/2 trees and still can't find my garbage can lol. My girl lives off Hanson & 10 and she lost 3 trees, a roof vent or 2, and her privacy fence is F'd.

I was in St Luis Park when it went down.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

I saw on the news that some dealership had around 500k+ of damages to their vehicles, theres a kick to the ol' croch.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

We delt with the hail situation last year when that one bad storm cam ethrough Anoka County and we ended up getting all new siding, roofing and what not. We did the work ourselves and got paid for all of the labor as well since we did it on our own.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Two of the people I work with that live in Hugo found out today that their cars are totaled because of the hail.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

I was working at my hospital that night so we had to do a "lock down" due to the weather. St. John's tho (which is another HealthEast hosp) got several people so we found out alot about them. A lot of crazy stuff happened that night at the hosp with people and their families since several of our staff had houses right in Hugo and patients families lived there. Its sad and it happend so fast.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Upon further inspection the M has more damage than I thought. We'll have to see how high that one ends up getting, I really have no idea how much they figure per dent, etc. It is silver and with a lot of curves in the side, it gets a bit hard to see them.

It hit so hard the Lincoln's windshield is cracked!

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Post pics already fool! Let's see how bad it is :(

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

A couple years ago I had over 300 dents and the PDR bill was $2800 at Dent Kraft.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

just got 1 1/2in hail a few mins ago.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Janelle and I were on Hwy 100 in the WRX when the hail hit last night :( The body seems ok, but her STI TMIC fins took a good beating.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Yeah my 3000gt was in Maple Grove and took a beating. My guess is it will be totaled out, but I won't know till I get back from Duluth on Tuesday.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

PDR costs a lot less than people think it does; thats under $10/dent!

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Hahaha, Our whole lot @ Morries Hyundai St Luis Park is a total loss. As well as every sky light in the building.

My Summit was parked out back and now looks like a red golf ball. Also took out my side mirror and tail light assemblies.

I'll bust out the camera tonight, I am taking a truck in to get it estimated tonight.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

Figured I'd toss up pics from Sat. I had the Camera with me in the 6 when I got nailed.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

I JUST missed that shit when I was rolling into town with a 280ZX with one (well really one half of a) windshield wiper and no drivers side window. Shane and I drove it up from Texas Friday after hitting the titty bar, just glad I missed that storm, I could see it from Iowa.

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

That memorial day storm totalled out my wife's moms car from hail. She was pissed her car wasnt there. lol

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

They estimated the truck at $2,568 worth of damage. They give $50/hr for body shop rates, that seems way low to me. Does anyone know the going rate for body shop labor?

Re: Memorial weekend storm
 

50/hr is about right. Fucking insurance companies are totally unwilling to pay anything more than that. I think my shop is at about 48 an hour
