AUSTIN (KXAN) - Many Central Texans are still cleaning up from a large hail storm that knocked out windows, smashed roofs and dented thousands of automobiles on March 25. The Insurance Council of Texas estimates the insured losses will be around $160 million.
It's the most costly hailstorm in Central Texas in memory, council spokesman Mark Hanna said.
"I can't recall a hail storm of this magnitude, going back a couple of decades,” said Hanna.
Repair shops, car rental companies and insurance agents are all struggling to keep up with so many people who were impacted.
Most rental-car companies in the area are sold out.
"All the rent cars are gone because of all this hail," said Sherrie Jones of northwest Austin.
Jones said she will be depending on rides from friends for the next couple of weeks, until her car can be repaired.
"Compounding the situation was the fact that a couple hundred Enterprise rental cars were also damaged,” said Ned Maniscalco, Enterprise Rent-A-Car spokesman. “We are now in the process of bringing in replacements for those vehicles from all around Texas as well as from Oklahoma."
The storm swept in from Western Burnet County pummeling Marble Falls with golf ball size hail. Tennis ball size hail was reported in parts of Travis and Williamson counties.
Hundreds of new cars in several automobile dealerships were heavily damaged. In all, more than 22,000 vehicles were damaged in the storm, and nearly 15,000 homes received insured losses.
Major insurance companies have been advertising in the local media alerting policyholders where to call to report their claims.
This is the second time in less than a year that parts of Austin have been pounded by a catastrophic hail storm. On May 14, 2008, 20,000 claims came from a storm producing 65 mph wind gusts and large hail. The May 14 storm caused $50 million in insured losses.
The Insurance Council of Texas is the largest state insurance trade association in the country consisting of approximately 500 property and casualty insurers writing business in Texas. For more information turn to ICT’s Web site .
Each window repair worker is putting in about a dozen new windshields a day and still Enterprise Rent-a-car is struggling to keep up with all the requests for rentals. With some 25,000 thousand damaged cars reported to insurance companies in central Texas the well-known rental company is putting the gas on repairs.
In the short term, the storm is bringing in more work to the sluggish auto and home repair industries, which have been down
However, it could potentially mean an increase to insurance rates down the road. "Having two bad hail storms back to back it's certainly not positive."
Still, Insurance Council of Texas spokesman Hanna said, now could be a good time to shop around to make sure you have the coverage you want.
