it sounded more like the damn shingles were coming off my roof than anything else.
That's how it was here. I went put the flood lights on and made sure our vehicles were all the way under the carport.

Wow tetu that's pretty impressive what area do you live. Now that I'm typing this it started again nailing our windows.

Kids are now with us. Will tuck into an inner closet if need be.

I had some of those. Looked like they came straight out the freezer.

Exactly.
This will be fun.
Haven't been through this before (been fortunate), but what type of damage should I be looking for outside, aside from my vehicle?
Roof? Windows?

That was the craziest shite. Woke me up because the hail was coming in sideways and banging the window. I honestly thought it was going to break the windows.
Good question

Its hard to see damage on the roof. We got ours replaced a few years back cause of hail damage and didn't even know it. Had roofer come to give us estimate for new roof and he said to call insurance because a lot of shingles were hail damaged.
Just call insurance and they will send an adjuster.

In day light and once all the ice is melted, get on your roof to check it. Check your gutters for a shite load of roof rocks. Damage to vents up there too!

I hear fire trucks in Old Dutchtown

Just remembered the wife and I went out of town yesterday and I actually left my truck parked in Baton Rouge because I had to take care of a few things before we left at work, something I've done maybe twice in the past year. Feeling pretty fortunate because it would have gotten pounded in my driveway (wife's vehicle gets the garage.)

Wife gets the garage here too. 
My car just got pounded.

Holy$h#T... We got hammered too. 40-50 mph winds driving ball bearing and golf ball size hail sideways. I honestly thought it blew out my upstairs windows. That was insane!!!!!!

Well I'm glad that's over. Thankfully for us the worst of it today seems to have developed further east between mobile and panama city. The panhandle is getting crushed storm after storm like we just went through.

I have to admit, had the wife and kids in bathroom. I really thought a tornado was coming through. Never had hail like that hit the windows. A little under golf ball size here off Tiggy and Duplessis.

Almost neighbors
Right around the corner in Essen Terrace. Ready for daylight and for it to stop raining so I can get outside and check the damage.
