Hail (larger dot, larger hail)Wind gust or damagePreliminary NWS storm reports, March 10, 2026. Hail dots are sized by diameter; hail size varies block to block.

These are records for the wider area, not for your address. A storm on record doesn’t mean your roof was damaged, and it doesn’t mean your insurance company will accept that storm or date. That’s why an inspection is worth having: a roofing professional looks at the roof itself.

Where the largest hail fell

The biggest stones were reported in southern Platte County, north of the Missouri River: Weatherby Lake, Lake Waukomis, Parkville, Platte Woods, and Houston Lake.

The largest in the National Weather Service’s preliminary storm reports was 4.5 inches, about a mile northeast of Weatherby Lake around 6:30 p.m., from a photo shared on social media. Preliminary reports can still be revised.

Local news reported damaged homes and vehicles in Parkville, including city vehicles, and widespread broken windshields across the Northland.

Elsewhere in the metro, most reports were smaller: 1.5 inches about 6 miles northwest of Liberty and about 1 inch near Bonner Springs. Preliminary NWS reports in western Kansas City, Kansas, ranged from 1 to 3 inches. Tornado warnings were also issued for several counties during the evening, including Clay and Jackson.

Why one storm can hit neighbors differently

Hail falls in uneven swaths. A home a mile from a 4-inch report may have seen far smaller hail, or none at all. That’s why a city-wide headline can’t tell you what fell at your house.

What homeowners can do now

If you live in the Northland and haven’t had your roof looked at since March, check your address for recorded hail and consider a professional inspection — especially if you’ve noticed dented gutters or vents, granules in your downspouts, or new leaks.

A storm nearby isn’t the same as damage, and a roof that held up well doesn’t need anything. What hail nearby means for your roof covers what you can safely check from the ground and when an inspection makes sense.

If an inspection does find damage, whether to contact your insurance company is your decision. Many policies have notice requirements, so it helps to review yours.

If you file a claim, even after an inspection, your insurance company decides what’s covered and what it pays. Roof Inspectors and our roofing partners can’t make that decision or promise an outcome.
