We've just had the worst hailstorm I've ever experience in my entire life. It's the equal of or worse than the one I experienced many years ago in Richmond VA where the hail left dents in cars. The hail just now ranged from sugar cube size to ping pong ball size! And most of it was in the larger range. Bye-bye terrace plants. The older established trees and bushes are fine. But all the new tender seedlings and herbs I had recently started growing are ripped to shreds by the hail. The wind that drove the hail was very high and horizontal gusts banged open every window not double secured. The mess in the house is unreal. Water and chunks of ice driven 12 feet or more past the windows - all over the floors, furniture, papers.

And yes, there are dents in some of the cars from this hail.
