A lot. On my home, over $15,000 worth of damage due to hail about the size of hen eggs.
Knocked holes in the shingles.
Knocked holes in the airvents.
Beat the crap out of my gutters.
Dented the fins on my airconditioning units.
Sandblasted the stain on my wood fence
Made pockmarks on the natural sandstone surrounding my swimming pool.
Slit holes through the fabric of my patio furniture.
Killed a few birds.
Beat the leaves off of the trees.
Knocked the paint off of the side of the house.
Tore one chimney for a gas water heater lose.
Beat the tops of the chimneys as if you took a hammer to them.
Killed one plant from frostbite because the hail rolled off the roof and covered the plant in a big pile of ice! No joke!
And the sound when it was happening? Imagine about 300 wooden legged men on your roof having an a$$ kicking contest!
Other stuff I saw:
Several cars in my neighborhood look like the surface of the moon. Including a Jaguar, BMW 7 series, etc.
Some car windshields got knocked out.
Baseball sized hail in the area literally went through the roofs of the houses and then inside the house!
Baseball sized hail hit the top of wooden boards on fences, and split them as if you took an axe and split them!

When ever Cool Canadian Air Mass comes down from Canada.......and Warm Humid Air Mass comes up from the Deep South of the U.S.,,, watch out. Tornadoes are *Highly Possible* The Sky becomes very Unstable then. All because, Cool or Cold Air (hates) Warm or Hot Air. They like fight against each other causing big time Air Turbulence .

Hailstones can kill people and animals. They can cause extensive damage to roofs and vehicles and cost insurance companies thousands of dollars, which in turn cost those of us who buy insurance!

Hail stones can and have killed people and animals. They will break windows, dent cars, destroy gardens and orchards, strip leaves off trees etc.

and then after hail has everything all smashed up it freezes everything to death and then melts and causes flooding.
