The internet is a BAD place...  There are some things which should not be seen, and once seen cannot be erased from your memory..

Jeff,
Sorry to hear you went through that...I mean about the hail, not the horse  ;)

Anyway, if your house was hit you definitely took life off the roof shingles.  At the very least you will probably need to do some patching.  The reason I say this is that we went through the same thing about five years ago.  The hail literally stripped the leaves off trees, tulips, etc.  

All my neighbors called their insurance agents and within a few days the place was crawling with adjusters and repair people.

I don't scare easy, but I finally caved in and called too.  The insurance guy came out and paid for an entire new roof.  Our house was only about a year old at the time.  I asked how bad the damage was and his reply was something to the effect that there was no way my insurance company wasn't going to pay for a new roof when everyone else on the block was getting one so I should just take the money and bank it until repair/replacement was necessary.  There was a lot of shingle gravel in the gutters that was an obviously indication of reduced life.  

Call your agent.

I have seen the one of a girl and a horse...


Yeah Jeff, I would call an expert. That hail looks pretty big!!! We had a stom here in MN a few years back that dropped a ton of hail and a lot of houses got brand new roofs out of it. I guess it's hard to determine the amount of damage if you don't know what to look for.

Don't give up on your dreams! If an illiterate like K3 can write a book, imagine what you can do!

Oh, and in that first pic, is that a crack pipe lighter on the left there?  ;D

Aren't they all?

Okay, you guys have given me enough thought to call today.

I looked and have about 20 pieces of siding at the very least that need to be replaced.  All east facing walls...  ugh.  :'(

Okay, well I made the call.  They were VERY familiar with the storm.  Not sure when, but an adjuster will be calling me to come out and assess the situation.
