Injuries are one. Traffic accidents. Traffic calls of all natures pop up tenfold (yes, we get calls about the bridges a lot, and do put them up). Smashed property (though I still don't understand why people think CPS can do anything about hail smashed glass, a lot of folks call and insist on CPS going). Alarm calls go through the roof. Hail sets off alarm systems like crazy, esp panic/duress alarms (which can't be ignored/delayed response). Flooding. "Unwanted guests" spike hard, as the hail drives people inside, and store owners don't like that, esp if the people inside are 'undesirable'.
