Drivers Find Ways To Protect Vehicles From Hail

Nearly 40 cars, trucks, even boats, packed the field underneath the Interstate 20 overpass at West Creek in Fort Worth Tuesday night.

"That truck is mine and it's too tall and it's brand new, so what we do? Where do we go?" said Sheri Correll, whose two trucks are too big for her garage, she adds.

"I've lived in this neighborhood all my life. I grew up here and this is what we did. My parents did it. We do it and will bring them down here and we wait," said Correll.

North Texans prepared for Tuesday’s severe weather by parking their cars under an overpass at Loop 820 in Fort Worth. The area has been hit was strong hail in recent weeks.

She dropped her trucks off at 10 a.m.

"I knew that it would be packed. I left work, called my neighbor, she met me down here in the park to put both our trucks down here."

Similar sights were at several underpasses along the stretch of I-20.

One resident told NBC 5 that a used car lot owner parks all of his inventory underneath the overpass.

Plano-2 Well I have done what I can to prevent a window taking a stone again. Faced the house used 3\4 \" ply wood not that flimsy half inch osb that is used on roofs weighted down and or strapped the board with a gap behind to limit shocks from a impact I'm here in Plano waiting for the storm.

Wylie is sick of hail storms. Our vehicles and homes in Wylie just got demolished with grapefruit size hail a couple of weeks ago. We're not taking any chances this time.

Protecting new car from hail. I bought my first good car about 3 weeks ago, we don't have room in the garage so we had to get creative! We put one of those foam mattress pads over it and a sleeping bag and a fluffy blanket. -- Thank you,Taryn Aussem

People even left notes with their personal information on their windshields so other drivers can contact them in case their vehicle is blocked.

"Everybody just looks out for each other and prays that the bridge doesn't fall," says Correll.
