Oklahoma and Kansas then felt the brunt of the severe weather over the next few days, with tornadoes touching down near Shawnee, Okla. and Wichita, Kan. Two people in Oklahoma died during this period.
According to SNL Financial, State Farm is the U.S. insurer with the most exposure in states hardest hit by tornadoes during this period, with Farm Bureau next in line.
