If you look on weather channel radars for Beckley, West Virginia, theres a little tiny storm spot thats a red thats directly overtop of me righ tnow. How much horseshit is that, it picks right HERE to storm like this

Does insurance cover that type of damage? Also, hail is often times a precursor to twisters, yes?

Yeah, but the chance of having a twister in the part of the mountains im in is pretty slim to none.
As for insurance, they do cover for it from what I know. Its been a while since this has happened this bad but i remember from last time people were covered, and ill be damned if someone isnt going to die if they dont cover it >< It may just be with certain companies though.

This is why they invented Garages and Carports, you understand...
Oh wait, you're in West Virginia, I forget, such pieces of uber-high technology haven't gotten to you yet.

People live out of carports here, dont know what you're talkin about!
The vehicles arent bad, the thing that just gave me the black eye is that our shops flooded. From how it looks at the moment I lost 10 grand or so in just welders that didnt get moved in time~

Added picz. I didnt get to take pictures at the time of the flood before the drains caught up with all the water coming through, but this was just after. Also added a few other pics I found on here~

Sorry to hear that G. We get flooded here in Ohio occasionally, and get the fun hail, although it's nothing like the silly goat sized stuff in Texas.

Yup, its called a scoop. One of the kinds of equipment we build. Added a couple more pics of one if you are curious. The are used to load coal on the beltline, and especially for maintenence duty underground.

In that one pic by the "Friends of Coal" sign or whatever, is that a fresh water spring coming up from the ground LOL?

Thats the drain being overwhelmed and flooding the lot and sending a river of water directly into the shop behind it
