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.

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.
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.

Do you go to the roof when a hurricane is coming?
No. Because of the strong winds the roof would be a very dangerous place to be in a hurricane.

If it is a particularly strong storm you should evacuate altogether. Aside from that you should stay inside.
