Default Ouch... Did I damage anything??

So I get off work late at night and it's pouring rain. I get to my apartment complex and proceeded to back in park which I do almost every night but today it was just dumping rain and its dark out. I'm probably moving at less than 5 mph when I hit the near by curb. From what I can see I didn't cause any damage to my rear bumper or curb my wheels. Am I just being paranoid or should I just brush it off. Not sure about the alignment either.

you are super paranoid lol

If ur rims aint buckled then you got nothing to worry about. You'll pop tyres, buckle your rims before you bend anything else.

Check below the side skirts / rocker panel. I scratched mines up pretty bad one night in a Washington DC curb.

Sucks, but it happens to the best of us. Just feel for any wobble or odd feedback in the steering wheel that wasn't there before when driving.

Of course, check the wheels AND tires for any damages.

Because it happened I feel bad about it and think there's something wrong. Here are some pics visually it doesn't look like anything is wrong hope I got lucky.

Oh and if you're wondering why it's in a garage now it's because the Wife is at work and we only have a one car garage.

Do you have anxiety? lol My guess is that you probably drove on top of the curb in the rears and the tire hit the weather guard. This is probably most likely. Maybe even scratches on the underside of the muffler or piping.

No worry if the car don't pull left or right while driving.
