Our coverage of tonight's
widespread hailstorm continues.
Now WFA's William Joy is
live near Flower Mound.
Now William Earlier Jesse was
sharing with us some pictures of
maybe golf ball to baseball sizd
hail that fell in that area.
What kind of damage are you see?
Exactly the kind of damage you'd
expect to see from hail of that size.
Unfortunately, this tarp that you see
behind me on this red car is covering A
shattered windshield here on Shiloh Rd.
That's just north of Cross Timbers Rd.
here in kind of the northern
Flower Mound area.
And I'll spin you around because
unfortunately it is far from the
only car impacted by this hail.
In the distance you can see that
Outback that also has a shatterd
windshield and next to it,
a Gray Nissan Altima that has a crack
in its windshield, also from ha.
We went just one street over.
And I talked to a man who actuay
said he has a Welt on his leg because
he was running out to his car ty
to very quickly cover his windsd
with a towel and unfortunately t
a piece of hail right in his le.
And we're bringing Jairo Kiros,
who lives right here on Shiloh .
because unfortunately his car was one of
those that now has a shattered windshield.
You were telling me that you
first just thought this was rai,
then started to hear some pelles
walk me through what exactly
you guys heard and saw.
Yeah, we
were just sitting outside and l.
I would just rain and sound like normal rain.
And then it started with little pebbles,
little pebbles, like peas.
And then it got larger to like golf balls.
And then we have like
baseballs and it was just bad.
And then like, after all the rain happened,
we walked out and we're like,
OK, like some cars had danced.
I come look at my car and
it's just like like that.
But then, like,
I feel like mine is not the wor.
I have people like my friends telling me
that their house messed up over the cars,
my neighbor's car,
his back windows all broken,
had to come out and.
We helped him out put a tar over
just in case it rains more and
it wasn't just car damage too right you
were telling me some of these actual like
house windows got shattered I mean what
are you guys hearing and seeingh
it was it's something like gunss
this is all sudden sound like is
really loud and just like windows were
broken just like little parts of like
the windows just broken off but I mean
yeah I mean it's been really bad we've
seen a lot of people walking upd
down the street what are people
doing at this point is a lot of
people I guess impacted by this
yeah I mean all the insurance companies
gonna get called tomorrow so I n
I mean that's one of those thin.
But I mean after everything went down,
the storm and like the the rain
just was over, everyone came out
looking at their cars and just
checking out what was going on.
I appreciate it. Thanks so much, Tyro.
And Teresa, I'll tell you that's again
just two streets here in Flower Mound.
We've continued to see damage
as we've been driving around.
We'll keep you updated as we
continue to bring you more news
here from around Flower Mountai.
Teresa, back
to you, Jesse. William, we appreciate it.
As you said, I think tomorrow is going
to be a very busy day for insure
salespeople and the insurance accounts all.
Across North Texas. Jesse,
have you ever been in a hailstorm where
something like baseball sized hail fell?
Sadly, Yes, I have two.
I remember I was living in an
apartment by myself at the time.
And I was terrified.
It sounded like somebody was
trying to beat down the door.
And it scared the daylights out of me.
And once I realized it was hail,
everything was OK.
But I I can empathize with anyone who
went through that tonight because it is
absolutely terrifying to hear that falling.
It's sensory overload.
It's it's loud. It's scary to
see. And then you see the
damage and that's where you
you really feel for people.
Yeah, I'm sure we're just seeing
the the beginnings of it.
Tomorrow, in the daylight,
we'll we'll see the.
How bad this really was, we
will for sure. And we were mentioning
some of that hail in the Bartonville area,
right when I was talking
about some of the damage.
We got this picture on Twitter.
So Kevin Lewis sent this in.
Kevin, I'm sorry, that's, you k,
baseball or larger size hail will do that.
It will go straight through
windshields without any problem.
And of course the the hail dens.
I mean that car is that's a lot of damage.
That's a lot of damage and we're going to see
stuff like that tomorrow once we get here.
Once we get into the daylight, of course,
you know now that nights here we
not seeing as many pictures com,
but look at this baseball sized hail.
That was that picture that we showed you,
Vicki B. This is insanely large hail.
There's more of it in Flower Mo.
We're seeing these pictures from all over,
not even just Denton County.
We're seeing pictures like this
elsewhere as from from Parker County.
We saw some from from Rockwall
County from Kauffman County as .
So there it is.
Massive hail in Lantana as well.
