Car was parked outside, was out for dinner. I think I got lucky, didn't notice anything when I got back.

Your car body panels should be able to survive hail unless they become large golf ball or baseball size. You may notice marks with any sized hail on rubber trim tho.

I read that Woodbine and Steeles was flooded.

There are some photos circulating online of quarter-sized hail balls on twitter/news. Going to bust out the quick detailer later today (haven't washed in a while) - all will be revealed then haha.

I got caught right when it started up on highway 7 and leslie.. Was trying to find cover for 10 minutes while the hail came down but every gas station was packed.

Didn't notice any nicks today.

I was very close to there as well...around what time did it all come down and how large did they get? I was indoors the whole time so I really have no idea.

Thanks

A little bit after 7:00PM, highway 7 was a mess due to the construction..

My friend got caught right when it started. She said the hail was blueberry-sized.

I put my BRZ into the garage and left the Echo out..... =)

But yea, small hail shouldn't do any damage since they aren't that dense. Anything approaching a Quarter in diameter would become a problem.
