The poor farmers. 7 years of work ruined in an hour. How devastating.

Pretty much an exact repeat of the hail storm that hit the NE 4 years ago.

They didn't even have houses fixed from the Last hailstorm

I live in Evanston, probably $40-$60k damage and my home insurance doesn't have hail coverage. That's my fault, I should paid closer attention to my policy inclusions/exclusions; I signed up for the cheapest home insurance I could find when I was unemployed during Covid and that policy just kept auto-renewing as is. Never thought I was undeer covered till now. Thoughts of unaliving myself grow by the hour :(

I live in Calgary. It's never been a matter of if, but a matter of exactly where and when the crazy hail storm will hit. Part off life here, so prepare best you can. Clean up always sucks.

At the end of day, all calgarian pay more insurance premiums 😢

[catinthehat]

Millions and millions of dollars on Insurance claims coming ! we will be bracing for a spike in Insurance hikes, I alone have two of my vehicles damaged

[christinamann]

Sometimes it’s like the northeast has its own weather, separate from the rest of the city

[deeejayeee]

If you live in the foothills and hailstone alley like calgary then you can expect this type of weather yearly.

[markamd]

This happens every single year in Calgary

[johnwang]

That's the problem, retaining enough to rebuild after an unexpected incident. But then, that's why we have insurance.

cheap light weight homes in a stormy and windy area - why cant building codes be less than 2rd world?

[raysteel]

I just cant believe that our carbon tax dollars haven't been able to alter this course yet. I'm not sure how many billions has been collected, maybe the tax isn't high enough to make that real difference?

[harrypettersen]

This is what happens when you develop neighbourhoods in a known hail zone that used to be prairie years ago

[CrooKdLetterJ]

Imagine wearingg thay much make up and that much botox as a male lol
