Most humans are able to seek shelter when a hail storm hits. However, if you’re unable to run for cover, sizable hail can injure or kill you. Hail stones can be as large as a football, and they can hit you, your home, or your animals with the same force as a hundred miles-per-hour fastball coming right at you. After an October 2010 storm in the southwest, many Arizona hail storm claims pertained to property damage and even personal injuries. Similarly, an unusual storm hit Texas in April of 2012, and it brought between two to four feet of hail to the region. Birds, livestock and other animals are unable to seek proper shelter during this kind of weather, and they are typically among the devastation that is brought on by a huge hail storm.
