Had some ripper storms here in the St. Louis area earlier. Creek went from a few inches deep to a roaring fast 8 feet deep + in a few hours.
Pretty big hail. Smashed a bunch of car windshields on the interstate about 15 miles away. Stopped traffic for a while.
We got pounded. No car damage or solar panels, but popped a couple holes in one of my older tarports, and perforated the gazebo cover.
Time for a new canopy. 😤

Colorado here. The snow was extremely wet. Not as bad as 3 years ago, but still pretty major. It’s March. That is when we experience the worst ones. Lots of fallen trees because of the weight. 47 degrees on Friday and upper 50’s on Saturday. It will melt fast. For those that still work, I empathize. It’s easy to sit back watch the snow fall and look for new programs on Netflix.

Had a branch nail a solar panel. Still seems to work though I haven’t pulled and tested it.

Dang, two more panels got hit. The good news is I unplugged them and tested, volts and amps still match the others. Chunk of clear plastic gone from the one, guess it will take on water and die at some point.
