Weather spotters compare hailstones with everyday objects. The National Weather Service uses these sizes in its storm reports; hail 1 inch (quarter size) or larger is severe.

Hail around 1 inch can dent cars and damage older shingles; golf-ball hail (1.75 in) and larger often breaks windows, skylights and siding. How much damage a storm does also depends on wind and the age of the roof.
