Coming from Missouri, we are unfortunately all too familiar with hail. The good thing was, hail always seemed to provide a new roof every 8 - 10 years! Back in 2011, we had a wicked hailstorm with tennis ball size hail that lasted for about 10 minutes. Talk about MAJOR damage.

My parents had a major hail storm in Ohio in 2006 I think. Took out their roof, both car roofs and windows, the detached garage roof and tons of damage everywhere. 40x60 steel building had no issues.
They took the roof insurance money and paid a reasonable up charge for a steel roof. The next storm a year or two later, they parked the cars in the steel building and had zero damage. The neighbors were getting new roofs again and about 1/3 went steel. Moral of the story to me, if you're in a hail zone, get a steel roof.
