Well, since we are discussing hail, we just got back from South Dakota. Our last night camping, we had a 10-minute, hard, hail storm. Only pea-sized, but my gosh was it loud!!! DW had to cover her ears. I'm 3/4 deaf, so it wasn't as bad for me. Our cat, though, was scared to death.
I have covers over my manual vents, so I wasn't concerned (too much) about those vent covers. The Fantastic Fan, though, I was concerned about. Didn't want it to break, then have all the rain coming in. Fortunately, nothing broke.
However, our roof has dings all over it. Not as big as golf-ball hail would have done, but definitely dents all over. The rock guard over the front window was open, but it had no damage.
Solar panel had no damage, and is working fine, fortunately.
So, other than the deafening roar, and cosmetic dings on the roof, we fared okay. Driving home Saturday, we hit the same storm MarkoPolo got, but it only had marble-sized hail, and we didn't sustain any more damage.
I hope no one else is in their TM when hailstorms hit! The noise is incredible.
