That was the worst hail storm this town has ever had - historic damage from the size of the hail, some of it baseball sized, the duration, and the strong winds with it.

Over 1,000 windows broken at the university campus, cars totaled that were in the open, including new cars at dealers lots.

I went through my garage looking for things to use in my hail shield that I'm planning. Found a backdrop of a stage we used to use for performing. It's masonite, three sided, can stand on its own. If set up on the west edge of the garden, would be some shelter, although not all that attractive.
