New roof? Maybe. And, I have metal.

Our roof was destroyed a couple of weeks ago. Wind driven hail like I’ve never seen before.

a freak hail storm in may of 84 i think actually killed folks. softball size hail was blowing holes in the roof and coming through the sheetrock. cars at dealerships were totaled.

Rnd 2 is forecasted to have tennis to baseball sized. Luckily, all of my vehicles are under cover.
 
Been fun here too. Little Rock got ripped around 2:30 with a EF 2 or 3 that may still be going and followed shortly by a 1. Nothing like the '94 March 1 EF-5 but tore up shite pretty good all the way through town and North 50 miles.

Definitely a strong system. Was it close to you?
 
Not this time. North side of I-30. Benton,W.LR,N.LR,Jacksonville, etc.
I live South of I-30 which is Their "usual" route. Just missed me couple weeks ago so it was sad for Them but glad Not to get another one. I always worry anytime it's 80 or above in March around here because there Will be some and more than one.
 
Time to break the stud welder out!
Y'all let me down. I was hoping to get comments like " I bet your roof is wasted!" or "how did you survive that?" So I could show my insurance guy and get a new roof.

Your roof is likely trashed and smashed. I hope your insurance guy has a stud welder.
 
we lost a lot of livestock then too. pastures with no woods for cover did not fare well. marble size hail will destroy a composite roof.

I remember the Mayfest storm in 95. A buddy of mine and his girlfriend were at Mayfest and ran to find cover just in time, he had just bought an ex Highway Patrol Mustang that got absolutely demolished. That was a crazy storm.
 
yep thats the one. forgot the year. it tore the westside of town up. went right down dealership road. lot of folks hut at mayfest. nowhere to hide. friend was there with his kids. he shoved them under a truck.
 
It was a Really Bad one. Watching the news last night and it tore up Hell from Hot Springs to Wynn which is 150 miles straight line. 6 dead last I heard.
Little Rock has had it's fair share of twisters but nothing like this one. I've lived here all my 66 years and the Big one finally came thru the middle of the City. Quality stick built older homes ripped to pieces and Modern construction buildings are shredded. What caught my eye was the vehicles in parking lots. EVERY Window glass was Gone. Busted completely out. Never seen that before ever.
This One is going to take awhile to clean up from and a lot of Change is coming from what I knew day before yesterday of my home town for sure.
Thanks to Above more Lives were not lost because the opportunity was sure there.
Unbelievable......

Several years ago we had an F5 come through. The destruction was mind blowing. I saw a 2x4 driven through a wall. Crazy!
We mourn the lost souls but am thankful it wasn't more.
