Hail is a type of precipitation made up of solid ice with diameters ranging from 1/5 inch to more than 5 inches, and it can inflict damage to structures, boats, vehicles, decks, swimming pools, trees, and landscaping.
The shape and form of hail is damaging on its own, but the real culprit may be the speed in which it falls. According to The National Severe Storms Laboratory, larger hailstones can fall at over 100 mph, which can cause severe damage to anything in its path.
