Here's a pic of one we went through in Nebraska in 2002

[Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTy6n7iJZ9Xdyty_iLSDl_...kBUCPvn_dA]

Roofs were being punctured and I heard of one room in a house that was so damaged the room had to be completely stripped to the studs.  Hail stones broke a picture window sending glass shards into the carpet, the furniture, and the drywall.  More pics are available on line.

Dave, it was 75 or 80 degrees outside at the time. It didn't last an hour.

Started on the upright for the pusher.
Cut to size, still needs to be 'cleaned up' a little and a few holes drilling in it.

In all my excitement regarding the 25mm thick plate I forgot all about the chocolate bar Bash 


This one Smile 
   

Front pusher plate. Still have to drill some holes in it.
