I'm starting to think hail is a non-issue unless you're in the kind of storm where the word "tornado" might enter the conversation at some point. Otherwise it's probably too small to worry about.

Come on over to Calgary Alberta, Canada...hail capital of the country if not whole North America. Lots of winter and mosquito's too. I am sure there would be a line up to trade places with you from the North side of the 49th. I like to think we all have location issues....do I hear rain outside or is it HAIL? GOTTA GO, BYE!!!

Maybe I'll stay and take the Earthquakes every so often.
On second thought, we have 9.5% sales tax, high property tax, $4.50 a gallon gas, and idiot for a governor, and San Francisco... on second thought maybe Canada is looking much better?

If you're gonna fight (re taxes), don't fight with Canadians. 
12% sales tax in BC
High property taxes also
More like $5/gallon for gas (regular)

I worked in Calgary years ago for a year and the worst hail storm I have ever seen hit us on the job site.
Totalled all our pick ups, knocked most of the glass out of two backhoe's and gave a few of us lumps on the head while running for cover. I'm not kidding! When it was over we gathered up a few pails of stones and took them back to our motel room, dumped them in the tub and stuck all our beer in. Had a big pissup since the job was shut down due to weather for a couple of days.
Seen another real bad one just north in Edmonton a month later.
