Common questions
Which city in Kansas gets the most hail?
Of the areas we track, Wichita has the highest RoofTake Score (86 out of 100). The ranking is by exposure, not by damage — damage depends on what was standing under the storm.
When is hail season in Kansas?
The busiest month in our record is May. The season is short and the risk is not spread evenly — most of the annual exposure arrives in a few weeks.
