Yesterday started out okay............

Yesterday was awesome, I had just gotten DCS A10 downloaded (via torrent). As I was getting ready to transfer it to my gaming rig I hear a freight train coming down our street. Then I heard a thousand midgets jumping up and down on our roof. Then glass starts breaking. I'm like "WTF, over?!!". I open the front door and the wind nearly rips the door out of my hands. Hail. Now understand, I live in a place where it's over 100 degrees F 6 months out of the year. We get 4 inches of rain a year. It's hail all right, golf ball size. I have 5 windows on the south (street side) of my house. 3 of them are busted. Two of them are shattered. I found glass 15 feet inside in the front front room. I go outside, broke a window in my garage door. Hail damaged my classic muscle car. It has a $4k paint job. Hail damaged my g'f's Z-28. I have brass numbers screwed into concrete block (which my house is made of) that were pulled out of the block. Haven't had a chance to get up on the roof yet. I have a new roof (3 years old) but that doesn't mean there isn't any damage. 90% of the houses on my street alone have at least one broken window on the south side. Went to Home Depot to get some plywood, just about every skylight in the store was broken. I have dwarf yucca in my front yard, the leaves are shredded just like you see in after hurricane pictures. I was shocked that even my low voltage lights along the driveway were all damaged.
Anyhow, I got my windows boarded up and have a claim into my homeowners insurance. I guess we'll see if AAA insurance was worth the past 10 years of payments. Here's some pix.
