Question about split petals

Just wanted to know if any of you have experienced split petals after a heavy rain or hail? We did experience some hail while we were driving in the storm, but I don't know how much fell at the house. Flowers all over the yard today are showing this split petal, most of the them like the flower on the right. I am assuming it is damage from the torrential rain on Wednesday evening.

Well, I know I have no where near as many daylilies as many people here, I have around 350. Been growing for years, but I don't remember ever seeing anything like that. Heavy rains have tattered my daylilies, but not like that. We had a storm about a week ago with small hail that lasted several minutes. Again, tattered, but not quite like that. Actually, I was surprised the hail didn't mess the daylilies more than it did. And that was just the day of the storm, I saw little damage the day after. Was it really dry before the rain?

I have some splits, after heavy rain, but not to the degree you are showing.
