Default hit by a hail storm and not enough water

well thats a 1st for me..I woke up to the ding ding ding of ice rocks hitting me plants outside today..OMG!!!

I had my cloth covered up my bench thank goodness. I sure struggled getting beaned on the head for about 10 minutes trying to grab some stuff and get it out of the ice rain. I dont know if ice rain is good for ya plants or not. Well I know it cant be bec I broke the 2 spikes off my best looking phal. I was gonna take it thursday to meeting. NOT. Broke a few jars banging em around..I got plenty them..I think Im in for some wild west crap this year if I leave too much outside. I just cant cover it up. I dont know what to do but move it all back inside and they really love the outside. Ive had more shoots and roots than I ever grew inside honestly. What to do???????. My head hurts ..not from thinking from getting beaned with ice..ouch ouch ouch.

I did notice one thing after the rain though that discouraged me even more. Ive been underwatering my plants. The leaves look good they just werent all standing at attention.I felt it was from the unseasonal heat. No, they not getting enough water. They rose up like they had antennae after they got hosed today by that cool rain. Thats disturbing me now bec I understand it takes a lot of water, not just a quart or gallon bucket but you need to hose them plants down until the roots start to drink and send the water up..getting the roots wet and thinking your watering your plants is falsely thinking your watering the plants...Revelations
