I was on my way to work and I noticed there was a crack in my windshield. upon inspection on the crack, i realized its only cracked on the inside. I can not feel the damage on rhe outside at all. It was pretty hot today but i don’t know if thats enough to do something like this. any insight on how this happened?

Can you feel the crack on the inside? It sure looks like something hit the windshield rather than a stress crack from heat or something.

Whatever happened, it is broken. Your car insurance may well have a “full glass” provision. Ask them or your agent, or check with a windshield replacement business. They can check your coverage for you.
