omg!
a buddy of mine in college got his accrord for half off becuase of hail(new car), its like soneone hitting a golf ball all over the car hopefully insurance takes care of it, but that sucks so bad any pics? if you dont want to i can understand About the totaled...i think the damages need to be at least 80% of what the car is worth for it to be totaled. At least thats what state farm said for my 335 about 4 years ago. I had about 32K of damage and even then it was like pulling teeth to get it totaled but they did. I dont think in your case it would be totalled but i would push for it.

Hail is a constant problem in Texas during the spring, and one of many reasons to garage your car. Better the roof of my house than my cars. We've had hailstorms down here that have destroyed the entire inventory at car dealers, some of whom have now provided covered parking for their entire lot.
Destroying an engine seems completely far-fetched, and I'm betting OP is exaggerating a little. Smashing the windshields and drenching the inside of the car, sure. |

Sounds like the OP's car got a bunch of water in the air intake and hydrolocked the engine. OP, did your mom drive your car through a flash flood on the way back from church?

Man. That sucks to hear.
I don't know it fit will be totaled, but I would sure as hell push for it. Please post pics, I am curious as to the extent of the damage. If you don't want to though I completely understand though. |

If the costs are already at 23k without including the body work I would say it might come out being close to totaled.
How are the electronics? And the interior leather? |
