Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Judsonia, the town this property stands in, in 52 storm reports between 1994 and 2025: 21 flood, 11 hail, 10 thunderstorm wind, 6 flash flood. The reports record 3 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 2010 | Lightning | Judsonia | 2 hurt | Two teenagers were injured by lightning in an old storm shelter behind a residence in Judsonia. The victims were a female 13 years old and a male 18 years old. They were sitting on metal chairs when they were injured. |
