UPDATE: Crop damage assessments from hail storm won't be immediately known

It could be two weeks before potential crop damage from Wednesday night’s hail storm in Washington County is fully assessed, but both farmers and city dwellers are being encouraged to file their claims as soon as possible.

And it appears that many Washington County residents are heeding that advice.

Phone lines at Spencer Petersen American Family Insurance in Blair were busy Thursday morning with clients claiming hail damage to all types of property. Roofs, siding and automobile damage have been the most common claims. Branch Manager Denise Kult estimates the agency has dealt with more than a thousand storm-related claims in the past two months.
