It's not just hail damage, but visibility can also severely limited in huge storms. With a lot of water on the road risk of aquaplaning can also grow higher. Modern windshields shatter to a lot of small pieces, if a big hail hits it you won't see nothing.

It can be safer to wait some minutes until the core of the storm moves away a bit. Just don't forget to switch on both turn signals, aka hazard warning signals. At least it's a common thing here where I live.

I've done this before, the rain could look less frightening on a fixed video than how you feel if you drive in it.
