- The hail damaged 64 Chicago Police squad cars parked at Area 4 headquarters, 3151 W. Harrison St. Damage ranged from dents to smashed windows to roof light bars, police said.
Forty-five cars with glass damage will have to be removed temporarily from the streets, said Lt. John Andrews, "but will it impact police service? Absolutely not." He said cars from other districts could be reallocated if necessary, but that need hadn't arisen.
No word on the number of personal cars damaged at Area 4, but it must have been extensive. Looks like Fleet is going to be busy all weekend.
On the bright side, it never did get anywhere near the 100 that some weather people were predicting. We're still looking at low 90's until Sunday, so it might be a busy weekend.
