When tragedy affects your selling area....Wylie Texas Hailstorm 2016Wylie, Texas has been my home since 1994. That is just before a tornado hit in 1993 and the last major storm affecting our town was a hail storm in 2003. That was before my real estate days and all I remember is my daughter getting a new car ( her car was totaled due to hail) and getting a new roof. There were roofers and roofing signs everywhere. The damage  was bad but not as bad as the last 2 hail storms in Wylie, 13 years later. On March 23, 2016 a hail storm came through and damaged a large percentage of the homes and cars in Wylie, Texas. I only got hail damage on two vehicles as I had recently sold my home. The affected homeowners were calling their insurance adjustor's, receiving checks, getting new roofs and re...
