KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Following severe storms in the Kansas City region this week, the Kansas Department of Insurance is reminding those in Wyandotte, Johnson and Leavenworth counties about available assistance.

On Tuesday, the region was hit with a hailstorm that damaged cars and roofs. Overland Park in Johnson County, Kansas, experienced quarter-sized hail.

“Severe weather in Kansas often means storm damage and insurance claims,” Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt said in press release Friday.
