Holy cow, that was a bad one!! It tore through here pretty quick though. That's as bad of a hailstorm as I've ever seen. And the winds kicked up so bad that there are shredded bits of leaves all over everything. They say the roof was blown off the community theatre (no injuries). And that's a pretty impressive building. The silver lining to that is that Terre Haute theater goers finally got to have an entertainment experience like all of us get to have, a couple a times a weekend.

I was sitting at the Walmart on 46 in Terre Haute watching the storm (will post video when it uploads). Once it started hailing, I booked it over to Sonics to get under their canopy and I still thought my window in the back was going to break. Hail damage on the body, I could care less, it is a Jeep. Windows I can't afford to replace yet.
