What the Hail?

desertlzbn · November 30, 2009

So I was sitting in my house and all of a sudden it sounded like the tin roof on the porch was getting shelled with artillery. I run outside and low and behold it was HAIL, about 1/4 to 1/2 in diameter. Now for of those of you who do not know I live in the DESERT, we are not suppose to get hail, especially when I have lots of green fruit on my tomatoes. I have about 20 plants and most have fruit, many just loaded down. I do not believe that it is going to freeze tonight so I don't have to worry about that. But do any of you know if the hail would damage the plants?
