Ain't that the truth!! We had hail and straight-line winds about 3 weeks ago that
resulted in transformers down and no power for 12 hours. (Tornadoes farther
east of me.) The hail was large enough I thought for sure I was going to have
broken windows; it did result in some ripped-up window screens. Also lost some
roof shingles and some neighbors lost trim off their houses plus shingles as well.
