Bugger, Im not too worried about the plants rather if the car is going to have dents in it when I return to Perth! The trout will be happy tho for those that have them.

Hey Slowboat at least when you chop back the plants they will grow vigorously next week with the warm weather and the nice established roots in your system

At least their root systems will be well developed.

They should recover shouldn't they.

I've had pretty good luck after hailstorms. The plants recover, some better than others though. I didn't see any corn but that's something that might not. This is what happens to corn in a really bad hailstorm

You'll have to go to the 4th or 5th picture that you see under the one that come up - http://www.desmoinesregister.com/picture-gallery/weather/2014/07/01/52-photos-severe-weather-hits-iowa/11785783/
