Wow, thats crazy! Sorry to hear about your car. I'm sure your insurance will take care of everything. Same thing happened here last week. Twice actually, about dime sized hail not as big as those in your pics. Only lasted about 5-10 mins though.

FYI They may consider that an "act of God" so unless you have that type of damage covered on your insurance you may be screwed! My dad had a limb go through his front window of his car in our heavily forrested neighborhood and our insurance didn't pick it up!

We had a bad hail storm yesterday around here. It was unbelievable and scary to be out in it. First the temperature dropped from 75 degrees to 47 in a matter of minutes...yes I said 47! At one point I was driving down a main road with some deep puddles and the next minute it turned into a river! It got so bad that I had to pull into a parking lot to get out off the street. Then the next bad thing happened...I went right over a curb. I couldn't even see it because there the water was over a foot high! I ripped up my liner under the car. I still have a piece of it that I had to rip off because it was hanging and dragging on the ground. The paint flaked of a corner of my front spoiler, and my fog lights were filled with water!
Now for the hail part...It sounded like rocks hitting my car. It lasted for a good 20 minutes. Some of the hail was the size of a quarter! I have little dent marks all over my car now. The hood fared the best since I can only find one little blemish on there. There are about 10+ dents on my roof, 1 on a door, and 2 on my trunk! I will try to take pics of this later. I will be calling my insurance company this morning. I'm sooo bummed about it.
