Hays County officials issued a disaster declaration after storms brought in strong winds and large hail.

WIMBERLEY, Texas — Gale Wiley has been a resident of Wimberley for nearly 20 years and has dealt with hail more times than he can count, but after"Most of us just blow off … 'It's not me, right?' This time I felt this was personal. It was like, ‘This is you, buddy. You're the one, and this storm is coming right for you,’" said Wiley.“I just couldn't believe it. It sounded like someone was hammering on the roof. I have a metal roof.

Wiley also noted that although his roofs are metal, they’ll still need to be looked at, and believes the costs will surpass previous coverage his insurance has had to cover all the hail damage. Billy Pattison works for Infinity Roofing & Siding and also lives in the area. He said his vehicle and house also got hit with hail.
