More Proof That God Hates Trailer Trash

Recommended Posts

No doubt! Luckily, B/CS was *just* south of the stationary front that caused all of this, so we missed out on most of it (except for just over the past hour). Just enough rain to cause a goodly number of wrecks today.[:/]

We had it to, but it wasnt nearly as big, at work I was actually playing in the rain... I love the rain and ive only seen hail once and that was when I jumped in it :S

BTW I work at a dodge dealership... I can get you top dollar on your damaged truck as a trade :ph34r:

That's nasty...

Just yesterday afternoon I had a tornado warning in central east Alabama. A supercell came within 2 miles of my house. It was raining 2 inch to baseball size hail in some places only a few miles away. I only saw 1 inch hail at my house, but it made one hell of a racket on my roof. Luckily I had no damage, but the baseball hail victims all suffered damage to their cars.

Damn...that's a nice trailer park! They all match & they're cute and everything! Kinda like apartments that are...uh...apart. :)
That's nothing like ours here in Washington. Some are better than others of course, but I've never seen one where all of the trailers were the same design and color and matching.

SOMEBODY ANSWER THIS MAN'S QUESTION!!!!!!!!



Everybody chill. Once I got done surveying my own damage, I texted josheezammit, since has the inside track on all things Skydive San Marcos, and he assured me that everything out at the Fentress Airpark is just fine.

Believe it or not, it's actually a high-end trailer park. They only lease to professionals, and they have pretty strict rules about what you can and can't do to the outside of your property. It prevents the foil on the windows, car up on blocks, kids' toys in the driveway appearance of most trailer parks. The green exteriors make the place look a little like Stalag 17, but the insides are gorgeous. They're probably nicer than 90% of the apartments in San Marcos. And this is the only time you'll ever hear me refer to it as a "trailer park." Any other time, I'm adamant that it's a "manufactured home complex."

Half of the units have Masonite siding, and half have vinyl siding. The Masonite siding faired much better. I always thought the Masonite sided units looked a little nicer, and I'm guessing that's what the owners will use to re-side the damaged units. Tin and aluminum siding, as on the aforementioned "vintage" mobile homes, gets dinged in a hail storm, like a car. You see a lot of pot marked older mobile homes around Texas.

It's amazing how much damage these hail stones did. The outlet malls got hit really hard. They had a fleet of tow trucks out there hauling off cars with shattered windshields and windows. Our heavy plastic trash cans look like they've been attacked with shotguns. My doorbell and outside thermometer are gone. Hail stones tore through the tarp covering my motorcycle, but fortunately the tarp seems to have slow them down enough that I don't think they did any real damage. I'll have to do a more thorough inspection later today. It stormed hard most of the night, so I didn't get a lot of sleep. I got up about 3:30 and listened to the weather radio to make sure I didn't need to take cover. I'm feeling a little like my house looks this morning.

I'll let you all know if I see a Twin Otter down at Maaco.
