{Louisville, Kentucky}...A major baseball-sized hail storm in Louisville and surrounding areas on April 28th has been estimated to have caused $175 million in insured losses and damages, and the uninsured damage from the storm would likely add many millions of dollars to the total cost. Rhonda Sloan, public information officer for the Kentucky Department of Insurance, says the damage was so severe that insurance adjusters in Kentucky needed assistance from out-of-state adjusters to handle the claims. Bob Hook Chevrolet of Louisville had about 500 cars damaged and insurance adjusters were going through the inventory for nearly two weeks. Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance by itself had more than $37 million in claims.
