Central Texas Hit with Damaging Hail

Heavy rain and hail fell throughout the Central Texas area this week but it appears Marble Falls received the brunt of the storm. Golf ball size hail damaged more than 1,000 vehicles, pounding roofs and breaking windows in both automobiles and homes throughout the city. A Marble Falls automobile dealership, Johnson Sewell Ford Lincoln, had 400 vehicles damaged from the hail. Marilyn Schaefer, an employee at the dealership, said the hail stones were hard and the storm lasted a long time. “We had people from nearby used car lots trying to make some quick deals with their damaged cars,” said Schaefer.
