Typically an insurance company will not drop you if your claims are due to an act of nature.
However, if the company has experienced enough claims in your area to diminish it's capacity to pay future claims then there are regulatory requirements that the company reduce their exposure. Over exposure could result in a non renewal of yours and other home insurance policies in your area.
Comprehensive insurance typically covers theft and damages to your car from natural disasters like fire, flood, or hail. This coverage is optional but is recommended for protecting your vehicle from a variety of non-collision related incidents.
One can avoid hail damage to one's car by parking it in a garage. Hail stones are usually small but can be as large as a golf ball or even larger. In areas prone to large hail stones, roofs are usually covered with materials that do not shatter, which avoids a lot of expensive damage.
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.
Hail can cause damage to crops, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure. It can also pose a risk to human safety if it is large or occurs during severe weather events like thunderstorms. Economically, hail damage can result in costly repairs and insurance claims.
Hail begins as a drop of water falling toward earth. In conditions that produce hail, rain clouds and such, there are areas were the wind blows downwrd and also upward producing very turbulent conditions. There is very cold air in the upper atmosphere. As a drop o rain(mostiure) falls, it is caught by updrafts of air and pushed high up into the very cold air and the outside of the mosture crytalizes into ice. This may occur a few or many times and the number of times the drop returnsto the upper atmosphere determines the size of the hail, for each time the drop travels upward more ice forms and the drop increases in size, until finally there is so much ice attached until gravity takes over and pulls the drop, which is now what we know as hail, down and out of the effect of updrafts and it falls to earth. In every piece of hail there is the minute drop of water that developed into he ball of ice we know as hail.

Only if it is for covered damage (such as hail, flood, etc.) not for normal "wear and tear."

To identify hail damage on shingles, look for dents, cracks, or missing granules. To repair hail damage, replace damaged shingles or hire a professional roofer for larger repairs.
A car is generally more susceptible to hail damage when parked, as it has no mobility to evade the hail. When driving, the speed can help reduce the impact of hail, as the vehicle moves through the storm rather than remaining stationary. However, if the hail is particularly large or the storm is severe, even a moving vehicle can sustain damage. Overall, parked cars are usually at a higher risk for significant hail damage.
Geico covers hail damage if it is part of your policy. Bare minimum coverage does not cover acts of nature.
sometimes it has to be weakened

No, comp usually covers impacts not caused on an impact from the surface of the ground. Comp will kick in due to items like a tree falling on the car, theft, a kid throwing a rock, hail damage, vandalism, flood damage and things like that.
