It's not just hail damage, but visibility can also severely limited in huge storms. With a lot of water on the road risk of aquaplaning can also grow higher. Modern windshields shatter to a lot of small pieces, if a big hail hits it you won't see nothing.
It can be safer to wait some minutes until the core of the storm moves away a bit. Just don't forget to switch on both turn signals, aka hazard warning signals. At least it's a common thing here where I live.
I've done this before, the rain could look less frightening on a fixed video than how you feel if you drive in it.
Wonder if it’s legal (prev comment)
Not letting through an ambulance is a different question, and obviously it depends on the volume of traffic it can be done safely. Yes on this image it's clear they are doing it wrong, but as I've seen in other posts not letting through an ambulance is mostly an american thing only. Here if you don't give way to an ambulance deliberately and a police car sees it, they can confiscate your driving license on the spot, so this is not really a problem here.
