The aftermath of a severe hailstorm caused significant damage to homes and vehicles across Kansas and Missouri.

Parking lots full of cars were pelted by giant pieces of hail on Wednesday, causing widespread destruction that civilians are now reeling from.

In a TikTok job by user DoItForFun007 (@doitforfun007), the user and his colleagues go to their office parking lot to assess the damage caused to their cars by the hail.

The user did not provide context as to where they worked.

The parking lot was covered in hail and shards of broken glass from car windshields.

The sunroofs of some cars were completely shattered, while the windows of other vehicles were exposed during the height of the hail.

“They look like bullet holes!” the user exclaimed, pointing the camera at a black sedan with baseball-shaped holes all over the rear windshield.

And this parking lot is not the only one to be transformed into a car cemetery.

At least 450 cars were damaged by the storm at a Ford dealership, with windshields shattered and hoods dented. The attack also affected nearby buildings and roads.

According to Fox2, county vehicles and private vehicles were damaged, and the county’s emergency operations center was not spared.

Meteorologist Matt Wolters of the National Weather Service’s Topeka office said there were three unverified claims of tornadoes in Wabaunsee and Shawnee counties.

Structures were damaged, but no injuries or homes damaged.

The expected hail was originally called “gorilla hail.”

The hail was described as being as large as baseballs, softballs, golf balls and apples.

The expected hail was originally called “gorilla hail,” a term coined by storm chaser Reed Timmer, by AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski because of its fairly large potential.

“When you get up close to a tennis ball, the size of a baseball, or, God forbid, the size of a softball, it can cause tremendous damage, and if you’re hit in the head, it could be fatal,” Sosnowski told the Associated Press.

Kansas City residents were warned earlier last week that severe weather was coming.

In an apocalyptic turn of events, video across Kansas City showed the giant chunks of hail falling to the ground as a tornado touched down in north-central Kansas.
