'They look like bullet holes!' the user exclaimed, panning the camera to black sedan with baseball shaped holes all over the back windshield.

And this parking lot isn't the only that has turned into a car graveyard. 

At least 450 cars were damaged by the storm at a Ford dealership, with windscreens breaking and hoods becoming dented. The onslaught also affected nearby buildings and roadways. 

According to Fox2, both county and private vehicles sustained damage, 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. 

There were reports of damaged structures, but no reports of injuries or damaged homes.

The anticipated hail was originally referred to as 'gorilla hail'

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

The anticipated hail was originally referred to as 'gorilla hail,' a term coined by storm chaser Reed Timmer, by AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski because of its potential to be quite large.

'When you get up to tennis ball, baseball-sized or God forbid softball-sized, that can do a tremendous amount of damage, and if you get hit in the head, that could be fatal,' Sosnowski told The Associated Press.

Kansas City residents were warned earlier last week of the incoming severe weather.

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