Heard 1" hail in Romulus?

Got an email from one of my car buddies out there in Romulus, MI
that his beamer got slammed by 1"-2" size hail. dents all over his
car.

He's bringing his car over to me so i can PDR it out for him during
his next visit to chi-town area.

There was hail in Chicago too. My MINI was parked on the street in the Hyde Park area around U of Chicago. I dashed out when I heard the hail and moved the MINI into a parking garage. No damage from what I could tell...
