Vienna, the town this property stands in, in 28 storm reports between 1993 and 2026: 15 thunderstorm wind, 11 hail, 1 heavy rain, 1 tornado.
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.
A damage survey conducted by the Dooly County Emergency Management Director confirmed that yet another, weaker EF0 tornado was tracking across Dooly county, just north of Vienna, as the longer-lived EF1 tornado was tracking across all of southern Dooly county south of Vienna. This EF0 tornado touched down approximately two miles north of Vienna and traveled east-northeast approximately six miles before lifting. This tornado was determined to have a maximum path width of 100 yards with maximum winds estimated at 85 mph. Spotty damage was observed along the path of the tornado. A chicken house was destroyed, one home suffered minor roof damage, and a tin roof was peeled off a barn. From 15 to 20 trees were uprooted or snapped along the path of the tornado.
