Repairs Continue One Year After Collin County Hailstorms

Extensive damage remains from severe hailstorms that ripped through Collin County last spring.

โ€œItโ€™s a little scary, coming to the spring season of storms,โ€ said Jennifer Brokaw of Wylie, whose home was badly damaged in the April 11 storm.

She got a new roof, but repairs came to a halt after her out-of-state insurance company stopped paying for them.

โ€œAfter you pay insurance policies, or premiums, you think everything will be taken care of in a timely fashion, and it has not.โ€ said Brokaw.

Many other homes in Wylie are still waiting to be repaired.

โ€œYou never know about the next storm, what will it bring,โ€ said Brokaw.

Auto body shops remain busy repairing hail damaged vehicles a year after the first hailstorm March 23, 2016.

โ€œThe next day we were already booked out for 8 months,โ€ said Fly Scheel of J&B Paint and Body, โ€œthen two weeks later the big hail storm hit, and weโ€™re still booked out now for another month and a half or two months and we stay that booked outโ€.
