What a mess! Glendale fell victim to what is - I guess - a microburst yesterday around 5pm. Our neighborhood looks pitiful - felled trees, green leaves plastered to houses and streets, broken (now boarded-up) windows, shredded screens. We had water and broken glass - and wood from the window blinds - in the family room, the great room and our bedroom. The front of the house - which is on the west - even the front patio, seems to have been pretty well protected.
We have five broken windows, seven imploded window screens, just one - maybe two - broken roof tile, still a pile of hail this morning. The storm came from the east and south - we have some pitting on the patio trim and am not sure about the house itself.
I'd post pictures but it's kinda depressing. Will be calling about window replacement later this morning but have an appointment at 8:00, another at 10:00, another at noon and another at 3:00 and need to sandwich in some tasks - so if I'm not careful I'll be out of sorts. Time to reexamine priorities (again) - and keep doing it til I get it right.

Those pictures certainly convey how awful the hailstorm has been in your area. It's a good thing you've already contacted maintenance to replace those broken windows. It's important to have damaged structures in your house immediately replaced in the aftermath of a storm like this one. Also, newer windows are more structurally sound and more durable than older ones, so this is also a chance to improve them.
