on May 25, an awful storm rocked the Mid-West. as the storm blew in over a small town of Bellbrook, Ohio, my car was at the high school, as i was there for a school meeting. As the participants of the meeting we taking shelter, my car was the last thing on my mind as safety was the first priority. At 7:23PM, the storm ripped over the school, knocking out the power and reserves, looking out windows on the way to the safe spot, it was impossible to see more than 10 feet outside as the clouds dumped crazy amounts of water in relatively short time period combined with 60-70 mph winds. Once the storm died down, and everyone was able to go home and take shelter before the next wave, i ran out to check my car for damage, as did everyone else due to the reports of hail. at least 10 cars in the parking lot had their back windows completely smashed out. mine however... was a differnet story.
here's the after math.. (look at your own risk)
a close look at some of the hole
back floor
driver floor
back seat
ice and glass up to the front seat
it warped the glass slightly around the holes and there for, had to give at other sections
a general shot of the back window
by the time i got home, the window was shattered
it warped the glass around the holes so it had to give in other places
the biggest hole missing from my back window
probably the best shot of the damage.. :'-(
here's a general idea of how far everything went inside the car. i even found glass up on my dash
there's multiple dents on my roof and hood and 2 on the driver door. miraculously, my sunroof and all other windows and perfectly intact without a scratch somehow.

) and something inside rattles. So if the shop isn't able to replace just the window, the whole hatch would door would obviously be the next option.
