Hail Damages Mount in Iowa
Hail damage is adding up in some neighborhoods in eastern Iowa.
In Marion, near Cedar Rapids, storms on Sept. 21 dropped hail the size of golf balls.
The Gazette says one homeowner, Michelle Chayer, stashed some of them in her freezer.
The hail hit nearly every home on several blocks in Chayer’s neighborhoods and left many cars parked on the street with dents.
One Marion insurance agency report 67 claims for homes and 10 claims for auto damage in a 12-hour period after the storm.
