When I told Amy taht a big comet will impact on our planet the news hit home, then I exlained to her tha it would be three millios years after, she got ungry.
There is some overlap with "to hammer home." With the verb "to hammer" think about hitting the point over and over with force to make sure the person understands what you're saying.
Commonly, the emotional "to hit home" is a receptive and passive thing. A story can "hit home with you," but there's usually no person directly doing the hitting. The "hammer" version is usually more active; you're forcing the emotion or information onto someone else.
