Much of the Midwest has experienced heavy rain, high winds, flooding, hail, tornadoes, lightning and other destructive weather over the past few weeks.

A hailstorm hit San Antonio, Texas, in mid-April, pelting grapefruit-size hail on vehicles and homes. The Insurance Council of Texas estimated damage to homes at $800 million and vehicle damage at $560 million.

One week later, more than 1,000 homes were flooded and parts of Houston, Texas, were under a mandatory evacuation as the Colorado River flooded multiple neighborhoods. More than $5 billion in damage was reported as 9 million residents were under a flash flood watch. A state of emergency was declared in nine counties, and the rain continued to fall. At least eight people lost their lives and officials were worried that area dams were at “extremely high risk.” More than 100,000 customers lost power and hundreds of flights were canceled.
