Re: Storm pics.
 

about 5 homes down from me there was a twister, about 9 homes got wiped/destroyed in a path and whole bunch of trees got pulled from the roots and moved about 20 yards and droped down.

I will take some pictures. One of my friends, his house is destroyed, his wife and mother are in the hospital, i was runing around puling cars out of the way of ambulances, the cars were stalled. whole bunch of people got taken away to the hospital from my neighborhood.

it was a hell ofa night.

Big E, I was over in your area looking at homes with a Realtor and we had to split once the storm hit. It told Melissa "this has got to be close to what a tornado feels like" didn't know there actually was a tornado a couple blocks away. :o

I took some "before the storm" pics just for shits and giggles.

Wow, It only looked bad in Eagan but we didn't get anything.

Re: Storm pics.
 

GV and south got nothing bad, a tiny bit of hail right around bed time, but nothing really more than that

And a little before the storm video:

Yes is was taken with the new camera.

Re: Storm pics.
 

Damage was a little beyond what I thought. Both the WRX and the Rally car got blasted by hail. Too bad I cant have the insurance co. do anything about that. The truck has a couple of spots on it but nothing major. Its a truck right, just adds character.

Pics of left over hail were taken aprox. 15 min after it stopped. I went out after the rain had died down a bit. So I assume that the hail was larger than this when it hit.

Re: Storm pics.
 

If any of you guys need roofs let me know. All it takes is 11 hits of hail per shingle and the insurance company has to replace the roof.

How big was the hail? looks like the storm was pretty bad.

They turned our Rental Apartments into actual Town House community so after Febuary when our lease is up we have to move out and find someplace else to live.

In which time if they open an office back up in MN (Aztec Roofing) we'll probably move back there. Since the deductables are anywhere from $500-$1000 for hail storms vs 2-10% of the total value of the house like it is here for the hurricanes.

And $500 we can swing Signing bonus's so it doesn't cost the home owners any money. We just sign em up and then talk to there insurance company's and they get a new roof for free. (unless they want to upgrade)

Re: Storm pics.
 

Dan, where are you at in Ramsey? I didn't think it hailed like that here. I may have to go check out the roof and look closer at the walls. My house is stuco so I didn't notice any immediate damage.

Re: Storm pics.
 

I live on the 153rd Block of Okapi ST. Last street going west on Alpine Dr. Before you get to Northfork (golf course).

Three close neighbors lost HUGE weeping willows (too much surface area i would guess), windows in their houses and even a 6 month old big trailor/camper.

Re: Storm pics.
 

how can you recognize how many hits it had per shingle.... ??? if you look on the underside?

Re: Storm pics.
 

Yeah that storm sucked. There wasn't power at our house this morning at 11am so I just said fuck it and went down to Treasure Island Casino where I work and got a hotel room and chilled there until I had to work. I am not sure if the power is working up there now or not, since JET and Nash didn't answer there phones when I called from down here. Does anybody know if the power is back on in Fridley?

Re: Storm pics.
 

From what's been on the news I thought Fridley was still without in some places and could be through the weekend. If there are down power lines and trees that need to be cut up then the cities have said some places coudl be without power for 3-5 more days.

Re: Storm pics.
 

Crazy. I guess I'll be looking closer at the house since I'm in walking distance of there (Marmoset and 155Ln). I'll have to stop by and say hi sometime.

Re: Storm pics.
 

I just talked to Andy and he said the power was on at our house so thats cool. I just needed to know if I should stay in my hotel room for a little longer.

Re: Storm pics.
 

Matt's house took a lot of damage to the siding. None of his trees blew over though.

Re: Storm pics.
 

Damn that sucks! Especially when you're trying to sell. My exterior looked fine. The stucco held up (and/or hides the damange) nicely. I did notice some of the aluminum around one of the windows was beat up. I don't know if it was there before or not but it looked like hail damage.
