Although the diameter of hail is varied, in the United States, the average observation of damaging hail is between 2.5 cm (1 in) and golf ball-sized (1.75 in). Stones larger than 2 cm (0.80 in) are usually considered large enough to cause damage.
Hail might seem like a minor concern, but it can shatter windows, leave pockmarks in siding and destroy or damage roof coverings. In an average year, hail causes more than $1.6 billion worth of damage to residential roofs in the United States, making it year in and year out, one of the most costly natural disasters.
