    Hail can cause serious damage to crops, vehicles, aircraft, structures and livestock. Wheat, corn, soybeans and tobacco are the most sensitive crops to hail damage. Hail is one of Canada's most expensive weather hazards. While snowfall can benefit agriculture by insulating crops, hail melting into water and refreezing can damage sensitive crops. Though tropical cyclones bring much needed precipitation, they also cause billions in damage and loss of life each year.
