FYI I heard back and they are disputing glass claims, and said it would be covered based on circumstances. I told them I had a receipt for the window I replaced not two weeks before and they said if I could produce the receipt they would cover the windshield.

Got ahold of my adjustor (Novek Ins.) and my insurance is covering it 100%. He said I do have to pay some $250 service charge or some bull**** but whatever. My car is going to need a whole new body almost. The whole thing is dented. I got completely battered by golf balls it was rough. And I have rental car coverage so that's good too.

That BS is called a deductible and its in your policy. You should read it sometime.

Another thunderstorm watch has been issued for Calgary complete with the possibility of large hail stones.

City of Calgary
12:13 PM MDT Friday 16 July 2010
Severe thunderstorm watch for
City of Calgary issued

Severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening.

This is an alert to the potential development of severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds.

Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. If threatening weather approaches take immediate safety precautions.

A cold front through Southern Alberta will combine with an upper level impulse crossing the Rocky Mountains to produce thunderstorms in Southern Alberta. A few of these thunderstorms could become severe.

And thats why my $3800 hail claim has been put off until after storm season.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

A quick an dirty estimate of $10k in damage...yikes. Thank god I opted for comprehensive.

Tornado Warning for Vulcan and Brooks. Anyone there?

[KevanGuy]

My girlfriend and I were camping in Caresland last night and I was just setting up the tent when the first tornado warned storm was forming about 10km to the south. Got some alright pics of that and the second storm that came by about 2 hours later but couldn't chase either of them. I'll post any good pics after I download them.

Your video is now up on liveleak:

Should be good for a ton of fake and gay comments, plus it will likely spark a political debate about Muslims.

edit: I made sure you got the "Fake and Gay" comment on liveleak.

I'd like to see the numbers adjusted for inflation. I have a hard time believing that this storm inflicted more damage than Sept 7, 1991.

Both are really large anyway.

Assuming 3% inflation every year that's $600M.
