Well, at least I'm getting a new 30 year roof and we'll see if insurance covers replacement of the two condensers today- At least maybe I'll get an upgrade needed from R22 to R410a (another around 11K claim)
The hailstorm that pounded Wylie last week damaged about 80 percent of the citys 15,000 homes, KXAS-TV (NBC5) reported.
Thats according to initial estimates, Mayor Eric Hogue told NBC5 on Wednesday. A final assessment is in the works.
Wylie was one of the hardest hit areas in the April 11 storm, which sent softball-sized hail through windows and roofs. The storm also slammed Denton, Rockwall and Collin counties.
Residents were still recovering from another severe storm that rocked North Texas in late March when the hail hit.
Blue tarps now cover thousands of roofs and boards have replaced shattered glass as residents work to rebuild.
Several city-owned buildings, including the public safety center that housed 911 dispatch and police and fire administration, were also severely damaged.
