Having said that, there are three 'colonies' nearby that are uneffected.
If by "colony" you mean a particular variety in a cluster, it could be that variety is simply tougher than the others and didn't show hail damage. When it happened to me there were a few cultivars that seemed untouched just because they had stouter foliage. If you find this damage all around your semp beds, with the exception of a variety here or there, I might still suspect hail. I will give up my theory if you can find marks on leaves directly below another leaf where hail couldn't fall down and hit it.
