hail damage

Storm-pocked car roof

Hail damage is destruction or harm caused by hailstones—the ice pellets that fall during severe storms.

The term appears most often in insurance contexts, describing dents and dings to vehicles, broken windows, or battered roofs and siding: The adjuster assessed the hail damage to our car.

Crops are also vulnerable: The wheat field suffered extensive hail damage.
