On 9/24/2019  at approximately 8:29 PM, a severe hail storm took place over Pratt County, Kansas causing widespread damage from 1.75″ hailstones. This damage contributed to property losses county-wide, including damage to roof coverings and vehicles. 

The Pratt county area was struck by golf ball sized hail in the evening hours. The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning. The storms produced 70 mile per hour winds which drove the hail to severely impact residential dwellings and commercial buildings in the area. 

Hail storms are common in Pratt, Kansas, where on a typical year there may be only 6 days of hail.

Nationwide, hail insurance claims total $1 billion of damage to property and crops each year. Typically, 1″ hail or larger causes damage to roof coverings and exterior surfaces, but depending on the material and existing condition, smaller hail can also produce damage. Hail is often part of other severe weather damage, including tornadoes, thunderstorms or lightning strikes.
