No death or injury is recorded in these reports. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2023 | Hail | Bayliss | - | The public reported hail, measured at 0.88 inches, associated with a thunderstorm. |
| March 2014 | Tornado (EF1) | Bayliss | - | Based on eye witness interviews, believe this tornado originated around 5:30pm as well and tracked nearly due east along CR41. It removed the roof of a barn near Road R, damaged an outbuilding made of sheet metal, turned over a carport and broke a utility pole (8 inches in diameter) of a local residence just west of Road S. An outcrop of cottonwood trees on a dairy farm at CR 41 and TT was badly damaged. Some of the tree limbs landed on structures to house calves, but no livestock were injured. Also, down road TT, a stop sign was ripped off its metal pole and thrown 50 yards in the field just east. |
| March 2014 | Tornado (EF1) | Bayliss | - | Based on eye witness interviews we believe this was the first tornado to touch down around 5:30 pm, and then tracked southeast for about 5-10 minutes. A pheasant pen and an outbuilding both lost their roofs. The outbuildings roof was made of sheet metal and some individual pieces were thrown between 800-1000 feet east/southeast of the outbuildings location. Some of the heavier pieces (150 lbs) were thrown 350 feet from the original outbuilding. |
| March 2009 | Hail | Bayliss | - | The Glenn County Sheriff Office reported nickel-size hail in Fruto. |
