June 13th was Kansas's day to suffer. Of the 170 storm reports the SPC logged across the country, a staggering 101 came out of Kansas alone — and not the quiet kind. This was a wind-driven slugfest (103 wind reports nationwide) with a hard hail punch mixed in.
The headline stone fell in Winfield, down in south-central Kansas: 4-inch hail. That's softball territory — the kind that doesn't just bruise a roof, it ends it. Cars, skylights, gutters, the whole works. If you own a home anywhere near Winfield and you haven't looked at the roof since the 13th, assume you've got damage and get it documented before the next rain muddies the timeline.
Kansas didn't keep it all to itself. Missouri picked up 18 reports (almost all wind) as the line marched east, Oklahoma logged 17 with 2-inch hail near Big Cabin, and Nebraska took 15 — including 2.75-inch hail near Taylor, plenty to write a claim on. Smaller hits landed in Texas, Arkansas (2.5" near Newark), Iowa, and Michigan.
For roofers, the math is simple: a day that drops 4" hail on one town and 2.75" on another aged a lot of roofs a decade overnight. Kansas is going to be busy — and it's padding its lead on the Top States for Hail board for the year.
