It's been over 30 years now but I had a friend who had a hail stone penetrate his roof, ceiling, bounce off carpet floor, went through internal sheetrock wall, and totaled his refrigerator! Rule of Texas thumb if ambient temp drops 25+°F and if thunderstorm is coming. Put cars in garage or wherever is best for hail.Yes, they can get really bad. My wife's car also had to have the roof cut off and replaced in that storm. Fortunately, no one got hurt that night.
Tennessee may not get the large number of F4 monsters you see in Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas, but we are bit unique in that tornadoes here aren't seasonal and we get almost half of them at night - home of the nocturnal tornadoes.
