Hail is often overlooked as an insurance concern, but even small hailstones can shatter windows, smash roofs, leave pockmarks in siding and cause thousands of dollars in damage to your property, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.). hail can damage the roof of your house or car and it can also cause serious injury and even death. Hailstorms cause almost $1 billion in damage in the U.S. each year. Hailstorms can occur at anytime, but are most common in the spring and summer.

The Hailstorms which ripped through Mississippi in March 2013 caused millions of dollars in damage. Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney said the storm could result in about 50,000 insurance claims for both auto and property damages.

Hail Preparedness

To prepare for a hail, you should take the following measures:

When building a new home or replacing your roof consider using hail- resistive roofing products. Listen to weather updates and reports on hail activity Stay indoors until the storm subsides. Close your drapes, blinds or window shades to prevent the wind from blowing broken glass inside. Do not try to go outside to protect your property during a storm. Stay indoors until the storm has passed. Stay away from skylights, windows and doors.

After a Hail:

Check trees, shrubs and plants around your house. If they are stripped of their foliage, there is a possibility that your roof is damaged. You should also check for roof damage if patio covers, screens or soft aluminum roof vents are dented. Check your car for dents and broken or cracked glass. Protect your property from further damage. If you find signs that hail has battered your property, take immediate steps to protect it from further damage. Cover any broken windows and holes in your roof so that no water can enter and damage your home's interior. Cover any broken windows in your car to prevent damage to the interior from rain and remove glass from the car's interior to prevent cuts and damage to upholstery and carpeting.
