We' get it here next, I bet.  We won't have hail but we'll have the rain and winds.  The trees to the west of my house are strong and straight, but I still worry when we have big winds...

Tell Jan that the Blueberris and Blackberries will be fine. They are survivors/

Well I guess everything is O.K. All I could think of when it started to hail, was I couldn`t go out and throw my body between the hail and my tomatoes because of the lightening.. GRRRR!! So I stood at the back door and yelled at the storm to stop with the hail, it could Rain But No Hail !!! It seemed to work, It stopped hailing and just rained, which we needed.  Thanks Liz for letting me know that my Blueberries will be O.K. This is the first time that I have had any and the little leaves are still tender. Now to make sure my car is O.K.  ;)

They are strong,  They will be fine as long as you planted them right and the variety is good for up north.  Down south we plant the high buss types. Yours should be low bush and be right for your climate.  Your tomatoes will put out new growth if the roots are happy and the tops weren't beat to the ground.  You'll get a bushier plant, fewer, but more tomatoes.

Good luck on with the car.  Do y'all not have a garage?  I don't have one but it's high on my list.  I need it for my new old truck.
