Wish me luck guys. Got the insurance adjuster tomorrow at noon.
Had a wrath of god hail storm Friday.
Busted windows, siding damage, roof damage to the house. Busted security cameras, lights, and a satellite dish.
All vehicles outside have busted marker lights and dimples. The Tundra got the windshield too. The tail lights for that are close to $600 . The RV took a massive hit. All the roof vents and covers are busted. The 3 awnings are trashed.
We had at least 60mph winds and golfball sized hail. There was a tornado warning associated with that storm.
I had flood waters but the house is raised so non-issue there but a few miles from me they had to do some swift water rescue and houses are mudded in about 3 feet deep. I went to be nosey and couldn't get past some of the arroyos that were running deep. Trapped in my hood.
Normally we get nothing. This El Niño is causing havoc. 2 weeks ago just a few miles south during a large storm a dirt dam was breaching the top and 3 towns got evacuated.

We went from severe drought and empty lakes to more water than we've got in many years combined.

Any updates WTR? Hope insurance will hold up their end!

Why are belt drives (to replace the chain) not a thing?

That chain topic got me wonderin.

Cause you can fix a broke chain on the side of the road. You can open the loop and thread the end around the frame and sprockets.

Belts are a pain in the sphincter to change.
On a bike the rear tire has to be removed along with what ever is covering the primary. A kart would probably need the axle dropped cause its inside the frame most of the time.

And third, chain is cheaper.

I haven't got the estimate back from the guy.
I asked the magic question, so how much?
I know you cant say till it's all filed and compiled but what ball park are we playing in.
I got him to guesstimate a little less than 10k for the house.

The vehicles on the other hand...
The wj took less damage than the deductible.
My truck and rv somehow didnt have hail coverage
