Hail pounded through Manhattan and Alma this morning crashing windshields and smashing gutters on it's way to the ground.
Several motorists pulled underneath bridges to seek shelter from the falling hail.
When the storm passed in Alma it left shattered glass, holes in roofs, divots that made one person's yard look like a golf course.
In Manhattan, no vehicle was spared at Briggs Auto Plaza, and in the airport parking lot travelers will come home to find their windows shattered and damage making their vehicles not even able to drive.
"Oh my, I have never been through anything like that. The damage is just amazing, every car, not a single on got spared, everywhere you go there's glass," said Dennis Voshel, an Employee at Briggs Auto.
"Never have I seen anything like this before. It's like a warzone," said Scott Teenor, Manager of Briggs Auto.
The dealership's early damage estimate is a half million dollars, but it could be much more.

It is now the 9th. Do you know about the dog? Surely you could contact these folks with a phone call to see if the dog survived. I hope they took the little fellow to the vet.
RESPONSE: As we've reported, a veterninarian saw the dog and gave him medication and he is expected to survive. More information is on Rae Chelle Davis' blog.

Just and Thought for WIBW: You know, I think that it would be great if you guys did a follow up on this little dog. Instead of showing him being close to death....show that he survived, and his owners learned a hard lesson. The only thing that came out of showing this little guy on video was all the people that now care about him.

Reply: Thank you for your comment. We have been working to get a picture of him for a couple days. The family has been very busy and I am hopeful that we might get one today. ~ Rae Chelle
