I didn't see hail larger than quarters when the hail storm happened.
My buddy finally got an assessment that his roof is totally destroyed and needs replacement. His vinyl siding was brutalized which is why he had an insurance claim in the first place. He didn't think much of his roof even though he could see it from his bedroom and there was just minor bits of material on the ground. He was surprised that the guy included it because the roof had been considered badly dented by the hail and should be claimed (no leaks he noted on the last few times it rained, but we started wondering if winter ice/snow would be the stuff to really wreck it). He said his community had hail occasionally around the size of loonies and twoonies which was bigger than my community.

Our roof was brand new, done 2 years ago with high quality grade 3 shingles. After inspection the adjuster noted enough damage that it qualified for a full replacement. We had lots of small holes in our siding as well, but not completely shredded, and no damage to any windows for a comparison
