    Let's see your pics...I know you've got some. My family in Fayetteville had baseball sized hail - car windshields smashed...house windows broken...cars completely trashed at about 6pm. Fortunately my WRX and I were in Atlanta, so I don't have any pics to share. Here's some from Fox 5 News:

    This touched down in Tyrone just west of Fayetteville where I went to high school.

    Yeah, on my way home from Union City I cut through Tyrone and there was so much hail on the ground it looked like it had snowed. Luckily I was in the Luv and my Suby was nestled away safely in my garage.

    My year old MX5 now has considerable hail dings. No broken windows, but Damnit...Ah well, I planned on keeping this car and turning into a auto-x/track car in a few years, so the hail damage will just add character, right....right???

    Absolutely, my car still has minor hail damage all over the hood from a year or two ago. Who wants the stress of driving a spotless car? :wiggle:

    on the other hand... notch it on the side you want it to fall then cut from the back side.... when the tree goes it will fall the exact direction of the notch you cut
