On July 19 we were hit by a tornado with heavy hail that caused extensive damage,  hail dented cars, damaged roofs and smashed windows along the Colorado Front.   Countless trees were shredded, snapped in two and knocked over.  Our community looks like a war zone.  Our R-POD survived with minimal damage.  The narrow plastic trim along the sides of the roof turned out to be quite brittle and was smashed.  I can't tell if it serves any purpose other than trim.  Happily it's very cheap to replace.   I was relieved to see no sign of damage to the fiberglass body.  The insurance checkup confirmed no damage.  The rear cooling fins of the air conditioner was mashed too badly to be straightened.   The entire air conditioner will have to be replaced.  Bummer!  The next morning we found our R-POD decorated as shown.

Leaf decorations!  I'm happy for you that there wasn't much damage.  Everything else okay at home?

I've read that some don't like the "olympic rings", but this goes a little too far in trying to cover them up :)
 
Glad to hear you and the pod are safe
