In Round Rock, the hail fucked up cars real good. My truck has crazy hail damage and it cracked the windshield and broke mirrors and brake lights. My house has broken windows, lights, and I am sure the roof is fucked. 

What side of Round Rock?

we are inBrushy Creek - got 1” hail for about 15 minutes.

What kind of truck? You may want to get it to a body shop as soon as possible if it's a GM or Dodge product

I'm near Brushy Creek, and all cars that were not under some kind of cover have glass damage.

I lost 2 living room windows -- 1 of which was double-pane glass must have been hit twice and got a hole bigger than my fist to the outside air.  I already patched that until it can be replaced.  The other window had all kinds of breakage on the outside pane, but nothing came through the inside that I can tell.

Where I'm at in RR, any windows that weren't under a big enough awning that faced East got lots of damage. 

My garage saved any car damage.

As bad as the wait is going to be here for car and car-glass repairs, if I had a car with glass damage I'd hightail it to Houston or Dallas to not have to wait forever to get it fixed.

What a MESS!  FFS

1.5" in Hewitt.  Thunder and lightning and more hail than I care for.

Round 4 that came through around 12:45 had some wicked lightning.   There were at least a dozen strikes that hit 50-100 feet from my house.   Thought for sure I was gonna be down a tree this morning.

Yep.  I can't sleep through any of that so I was up.  All in all we we were lucky.  

Honestly I don't remember the last time we had a thunderstorm like that.
