Major hailstorms pelted three big cities across the south-central United States on Wednesday night, shattering windows, denting vehicles and leaving behind headaches for homeowners. The hail hit such a widespread and populated area that damage estimates are expected to total upwards of $3 billion, according to AccuWeather forecasters.

(11,096 posts)11. A good part of my law practice is insurance coverage.
Any homeowners policy I've ever seen pays for hail damage. If your homeowners policy excludes "acts of God," you need a new policy.
Where people get stuck is flooding, including flash flooding. Most homeowners policies exclude flooding. You need specific flood insurance for that.
