April Hailstorm In San Antonio Costliest In Texas History

The massive hailstorm that struck San Antonio and Bexar County in April will be the costliest in Texas history, according to a state insurance corporation. The total damage caused by the April 12 storm is expected to total $1.36 billion, according to the Insurance Council of Texas. That includes $560 million in damage to vehicles and another $800 million in damage to homes and businesses. "The storm primarily struck the northwestern portion of Bexar County moving across northern areas of San Antonio with large hail that was shaped like jagged rocks,” said Robert Crosby, executive director of the Independent Insurance Agents of San Antonio.
