Default Hail!!!

Well my day was going well till my girlfriend called me and told me it was hailing. Right away I freaked out because I park my car outdoors since I live at the university (plus I have never had any experience with hail or snow since im from hawaii ) I don't know if this is common or not in California haha. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but would the hail today damage my paint on my car?

Depends on the size of the hail....
I haven't heard ever of hail damage to cars in the bay area, this usually happens more in the midwest..

Hope your car's OK.

You car should be okay. I parked my car at work today. I checked it after the hail stopped. There is no damage on it.

yah, that doesn't look bad. It's bad when the hail retains its shape as little *****. That my friend is what we would call sleet or freezing rain on the east coast.
