My Ride: 07 550i Titanium Silver, Black Dakota Leather, Steptronic, Sport, Premium, Nav, Sat. Radio, Logic 7, Comfort Access, Rear Sunshade.
Today in Houston the weather outlook was 80% chance of rain. It's my off friday so I decided to bring my wife's MDX in for servicing and let her take the 550 to work. To make a long story short, she just called me from my car to let me know it is hailing. I could hear the hail impacting the windshield and other parts that I don't want to think about right now. Pray for us.

Oh no! If I hear hail in the forecast, I either stay late at work, work from home -anything to keep the car covered. Best of luck and I hope she and your wife make it ok

Good luck. Have her watch out for flooding as well. It floods easily in Houston.
