Hail

What to do during the hailstones

Generally, hail or hailstones are larger than raindrops so that most
destructive effects of hailstorms can be observed on farms, damage
roof shingles, skylights, car windows, and more
How you have to prevent during the hailstones
• Stop driving when you are on the way
• Move inside; seek shelter immediately and away from windows, glass
doors and skylights until the storm
• Cover you car; park it in a carport
• Avoid finding shelter under trees or in areas like culverts that can
suddenly fill with water . 
•  
If you’re outdoors

Take shelter and stay away from windows, glass doors and skylights.
If there is nowhere to take shelter, crouch down and protect your head and
neck with your arms.
Hailstorms can be accompanied by lightning, so stay away from tall
objects such as large trees, towers, metal fences or poles.

If you’re indoors
Close and lock windows and doors.
Close curtains and blinds to help protect you if the windows break.
If possible, use a flashlight instead of candles, which can be a fire hazard.
If you’re driving

Find a place to safely. Protect yourself in case the car windows shatter.
Watch out for flooded areas. Hail and heavy rain together can block
storm drains and cause flash flooding.

A hailstorm with powerful winds can physically damage

crops across large areas . The falling hailstones and strong
winds bend and break plants and strip them of leaves and bark
. Dangerous for automobiles on the road.
