Hail can damage roofs, siding, windows, cars, satellite dishes, and each year causes millions of dollars of damage to crops like corn and soy beans. It can rip the leaves off of trees and in extreme cases, kill small animals.

∙ 11y agosome hazads asociated with hail storms are hail storms you stupid people
This is unacceptable last person who answered^^^^^
This is actually a question on 7th grade worksheets so they are not stupid. Also you are the stupid one for not knowing how to spell. :)
The answer to the question is that hail can become very large in balls so you can be hit and it can cause brain damage or more injuries. Also dents in cars.. I'm not exactly sure if that is a good "hazard" though... Hail can be very dangerous so it is true that this is an easy question to answer.

∙ 12y agoHail occurs when strong, tubulent updrafts occur in a thunderstorm. These alternately carry water droplets above and below the level at which water freezes. With each cycle a new layer of ice is added and the droplet grows to a hailstone. Eventually the hailstone becomes to heavy to be held up by the updraft and falls to earth. If hail is large enough it can dent cars, smash windshields, destroy crops, and kill livestock.

∙ 11y ago- Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain and sometimes snow, sleet, hail, or no precipitation at all. Those that cause hail to fall are called hailstorms.Thunderstorms may line up in a series or rain-band, known as a squall line. Strong or severe thunderstorms may rotate, known as super-cells. While most thunderstorms move with the mean wind flow through the layer of the troposphere that they occupy, vertical wind shear causes a deviation in their course at a right angle to the wind shear direction.

What type of damage can a hail storm do to a roof top ac unit?
Hail Storms can bring a ton of damage to homes, and especially those vulnerable rooftop air conditioning units. In Dallas, I have seen softball size hail that will damage air conditioners badly. If the hail hits in the right spot right on the vulnerable fan vents, it can break through and damage the fans and any other internal components. So it really depends on the size and severity of the storm to determine how much damage the hail can really do. Also something to keep in mind if you notice hail damage to your AC unit is that your roof may also have sustained damage during the onslaught. I would have both inspected especially if there is visible damage.
When was the last hail storm in Austin?
In March 2009, a large hail storm struck north Austin, with stones as large as three inches. This storm was notable for the large area it covered, from the Four Points area on the west to Parmer Lane at the 45 Tollway on the east. Insurance companies rated it one of the most expensive hail storms on record. In 2008, a hail storm cut a narrow swath from Tarrytown to Hyde Park. This same storm also resulted in hail damage in Lost Creek and surrounding neighborhoods. This was an unusual storm in that it left some homes battered, while one block away there was no hail at all. In 2007, small hail storms hit parts of Circle C in south Austin, portions of Cedar Park and Leander, and neighborhoods in Round Rock. In 2006, parts of Leander, Pflugerville, and far north Austin were hit. In 2005, Northwest hills was pummeled by large hail. The five years prior to 2005 were pretty quiet, with only very isolated hail in and around Austin. I know all this because I own Premier Roofing.
How do you protect yourself in a hail storm?

What should you do to repair your roof after a hail storm?
If your roof is damaged in a hail storm, it really depends on the severity of the damage sustained and whether your insurance will cover the repairs. If the storm is anything like the recent hail storms in the Dallas Fort Worth area, then you probably experienced hail the size of softballs. This hail can cause all kinds of damage to your roofing and can be covered by homeowners insurance as long as you approach it the correct way. In my experience as an insurance adjuster in Dallas, it is extremely beneficial to have an expert to help walk you through the claims process, help negotiate a fair insurance settlement, and restore your roof to like new condition. Usually the repairs will require patching of the roof or removing and replacing entire sections. The thing with hail damage is that it can be deeper than the visible surface, so a professional inspection with specialized equipment can really help prevent any further issues down the line.
How can you tell if your roof is damaged because of a hail storm?
It can sometimes be easy to know that there has been some damage to your roof after a hail storm. The first thing to check is your air conditioning unit and your window screens to see if there are splatter marks on them. These are a great indicator of larger damage to your roof. Other obvious signs like missing shingles and a leaking roof are easy to spot as well. Most hail storm damage can be diagnosed with a visual inspection, but sometimes a more in depth inspection of your roof will help to prevent any long term issues from coming up later. I always recommend having a professional go up on your roof to completely inspect it as they know exactly what to look for.
