Bad deal - sorry to hear of your problems.
Hail can do an incredible amount of damage and the insurance claims will be in the thousands.
Hope it all works out for you.

I Had PDR done to my car a few weeks ago. The guy who came out happened to mention hail damage . I would call around and find a paintless dent removal guy to come hook you up. Its well worth the money!

Thanks for the well words everyone. I got back from the body shop and they have the paint-less dent removal so the guy I know there said he should be able to get everything out. He noticed more little dings on the hood, trunk, and roof than I did. 
He is quite the perfectionist.
It looks like they will have to paint the front bumper/spoiler. My liner/shield under the car was damaged so that will need to be replaced. I scraped one of my wheels when I hit the curb, and there is a small vibration that was not there before so I may have bent the wheel. I also had water in my fog lights so they might claim those as well.
Anyway, I'm bummed but the insurance should take care of everything.

Yeah that was a crazy ass storm... I got a phone call getting the warning it was headed my way and parked my baby in the garage...
My friend who works at EB in North Kingstown had MAJOR damage to his car including a broken winshield... Some of the hail were the size of golf balls...
Overall there were 300 cars damaged in the parking lot alone...
Where is that pic taken? Looks like the McDonalds plaza off Douglas Ave?

Yeah the body shop that I go to in NK said that they had a bunch of people call them this morning about hail dents. I'm sure all the body shops in RI will be busy for the next few weeks!
BTW...if anyone was wondering that Eclipse barely made it. I couldn't believe that she drove straight through it. She could have gone around a bit. It sounded like it was going to stall then she gunned it and it struggled through that lake
