Once it clears up and if I see damage on fenders, hood, trunk..... etc... Do you think insurance would cover the damage or am I shit out of luck and should go pound sand?

Sigh...

Insurance should cover this. A few years ago there was a big hailstorm in Exeter, Nh. Lots of mobile paintless dent removal crews showed up. i waited a couple of weeks for the rush to die down to talk to one of them about my car's parking lot dings. Got everything fixed cheap as they were hurting for work and about to leave the area.

Yep, should be covered. Maybe even under comprehensive vs collision? We keep a lower deductible on comprehensive, it's worth it for things like this.

Good to know, after reading the things above I decided to check with insurance. I have a $500 deductible, if anything is damaged they said it would be covered under comprehensive as long as $500 is paid.

I guess thats good and bad. Average cost is $100 per panel anyways, I would be able to have my dings removed for that much on my own. The good news everything seems to be OKAY for now however ill need to wash my car and dry it to be able to tell for sure.

FWIW, a $300.00 comprehensive deductible is not much more money than a $500.00 deductible, and in times like this, it could pay off. It might be worth checking out.

Did you ever wonder how hailstones were described before golf was invented?

I dont know what it is but you seem to have the worst luck. Hopefully it turns around for you ...
