Got my car's back window knocked out and a few handfuls of dents from hail. A couple other cars in the parking lot got smashed windows and more than half got damaged by hail.

/sigh

Where are you at? I am in Olathe and got some hail that was between marble and golf ball size... I lucked out as far as damage!
Sorry you weren't so lucky, cause I know it was all luck that I didn't get any damage!

Emporia.

Its really awesome to see 100 cars in parking lots and only a handful of cars with window damage but 75+ with dents.

Yep. Mom and Dad had all the windows on the west side of their house blown out by golfball sized hail in Overland Park.

I'm farther north in OP and didn't get any damage to the apartment. I've been too scared to go out and check on my bike and truck

My truck and bike were fine.

Wife and I went over to mom and dad's a bit ago. EVERYONE on the street has some form of damage. One guy lost every single west-facing window on his house. One of my favorite little bar and grills lost their 2 stained glass windows on the west side. Looked bad out there.

Went to go rent the car from Enterprise here and every single vehicle they had for rent was already taken by 230pm.

Im an just southeast of Wichita and we got nailed with baseball & softball sized hail, lots of it. Lost the windshield on my truck. Gonna have to get new siding, gutters, roof, and my fence got destroyed. My mailbox was crushed like a beer can. Our city PD lost windows on 5 cars and light bars on 6. Entire town looks like Bengazi.

Front of my house faces west. Lost one glass panel out of each of the 3 lights on the front of my house. A few screens have tears in them hut no big deal. Both my neighbors lost 2 windows each. After it was all done I let my year old lab out in the backyard. He thought it was great with all the "balls" in the backyard. I have no idea how many he ate in all. At least he enjoyed it.

Damn.....did either of you take pics of the hail at all?

Luckily, we just got golf-ball sized here.
