My car actually wasn't covered, no garage or carport at our rental... But thankfully no damage was done... to it or our truck...

If somebody does get hail damage, I know how to get the dents out. Dry ice. On a hot day, bust up some dry ice. With pliers (don't want to use your fingers) place a dime sized chunk of dry ice in the dent. About 15 seconds and it will pop throwing that dry ice into the air. No more dent.

After much patience and help from Elkhunter, I was able to convert my video format and download it!
Not super spectacular... but a small video of the hail, I could only get so much footage cause I didn't want my camera to get beat up lol...
Enjoy Ps. I couldn't open my door all the way, cause behind it were my tomato plants we carried up on the porch and covered with a tarp haha...
