Following a recent severe hail storm in Marble Falls, Texas, the community is left to deal with the aftermath of the destructive weather event. The storm, which brought hail the size of baseballs, caused extensive damage to homes, vehicles, and local businesses. One resident, Brianna Martinez, described the harrowing experience of hearing glass shatter as the hail pummeled her property.

Auto repair shops, like Tex-R-Auto Glass, have been overwhelmed with repair requests as residents seek to fix the damage caused by the storm. Owner Randall Niemtschk mentioned that they have seen numerous vehicles with shattered windows and dented exteriors. While the influx of business has been positive for the shop, Niemtschk expressed sympathy for those without comprehensive insurance coverage who must pay for repairs out of pocket.

In addition to vehicle damage, local schools and the museum in Marble Falls also suffered significant impacts from the storm. School buses were left with shattered windows, while the Old Granite School building, home to The Falls on the Colorado Museum, saw six windows damaged. Fortunately, the museum was able to avoid interior damage, and efforts are underway to repair the building and replace the windows.
