Hail, tornado, storm and crop damage caused insured property losses estimated at more than $364 million in Kansas and Ohio during the second quarter, according to regulators and industry sources.

Damage claims in Ohio were helped along by a flurry of marketing efforts by contractors, according to a spokesperson for the Ohio Insurance Institute in Columbus, Ohio.

According to figures released by Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, third-quarter storm and crop damage in that state was $215.5 million, and for July, the estimate is $41 million.

Mr. Praeger announced last week that the storm season had extended well beyond spring and had exceeded the $248 million storm damage reported for all of last year in Kansas.
