Hail Storm — Cummings, Kansas — July 10, 2026
Map frames the radar-estimated swath; the marker is the storm’s strongest core. Exact damage varies street by street.
What happened
Radar-derived hail estimates (MESH) show a storm producing hail up to 1.75 inches — roughly golf ball size — tracking near Cummings, Kansas on July 10, 2026. The swath spans roughly 12 by 6 miles.
Hail this size dents hoods, roofs, and trunk lids outright and frequently cracks windshields and trim — damage is usually visible without close inspection, and insurers expect a wave of claims from an event like this.

Photograph everything in daylight before washing the vehicle — wide shots plus close-ups of dents on the hood, roof, and trunk.
Check your comprehensive coverage. Hail falls under comprehensive, not collision — a hail claim generally does not raise rates the way an at-fault accident does.
Get an independent inspection before you accept a number. Radar tells us where hail fell; a trained eye under proper lighting tells you what it actually did. Many hail-damaged panels can be restored by paintless dent repair without repainting.
Hail sizes and the affected area are radar-based estimates (NOAA MESH) generated automatically; they indicate where damage is likely, not a guarantee of damage at any specific address. Veterans Auto Hail Services publishes this data as a public service.
