I don't think hail would damage an engine, engines are engineered to withstand very tough flight conditions!
A "lightening" storm??
haha yeah...I probably shouldn't have fired my editor yesterday...
One of the commenters mentions hail as a possible reason for the engine failure. Glad everything turned out o.k.
Hail that is large enough can and has caused engine failure though very rare. Most famous accident is Southern DC-9 many decades ago.
Another boost for "privatizing" maintenence crews.
