Anyone else get annihilated by the hail?

Wow, SA, sorry to hear that, you must have gotten some big hail out there!

It wasn't that is was so big, biggest I saw was cherry size, it was it hailed for like two hours straight.

Same here but other than devastating my vegetation it doesn't seem to have done any real damage here. I have a shaker roof so I would have thought something would have happened.

May have. Shakes take the small impacts well, but after too many on one board, they dry out and split. If you go up and look at them close, look for small impact marks. I forget the standard per shake, but if you see the boards are cracking after a couple of days, its from getting pounded.

I roofed houses for a living for a while way back when in my younger days up in the Ft Collins area. If you get it re-roofed and can swing it, get imperial shingles. They are the next best thing to T-locks which are just about extinct.

What about the cement style roof/shingles? That is what I have but I wonder what a hail storm like this would do to them. I know they really help with insurance

Pretty much nothing until the hail is big enough to break the tiles.
