06/03 Sadly the remaining egg has not survived. Iris has removed the embryo. :'(

In the video Stanley and Iris were both looking up at the sky while the hail came down; this gave me the feeling they were frightened and trying to understand what was happening … oh, how sorry I felt for them. When the worst was over Stanley left for a while, and then returned with a big stick to repair their nest. They tried their best … :'(
Lots of pics and information on the link you provided, so I read all the way back to when the wind and hail suddenly occurred. Today they said “The cam will stay up, so we’ll have a unique opportunity to see how Stan & Iris respond to the vagaries of nature.”
Thank you for keeping us up to date here gcg.

Still sitting on the remaining egg, so there's still hope!
susha:
These two are such a sweet couple. That's such sad news :'(
Sad for us only though. They'll just carry on with their lives, the way our Princess and Smiley have!

The latest is the second damaged egg did not survive and Iris has removed the embryo. The third egg is showing cracking and it does not appear there will be hatchlings at this nest. So sad.
