| April 1994 | Tornado (F1) | Doon | $500,000 | A classic spring synoptic situation was taking shape over Iowa. Intense low pressure moved across western Kansas into southern Nebraska. A warm front extended east from the low into Iowa. Warm and moist air was in place over the state. Surface dew point temperatures were in the lower to middle 60s with significant moisture extending above the 850 mb level. Meanwhile, drier air was working its way northeast aloft. Violent thunderstorms erupted during the late afternoon hours over northwest Iowa. There were several reports of tornadoes just to the north of the Iowa/Minnesota border. The storms moved into the northwest part of the state and produced hail, high winds, and funnel clouds. Winds gusted to 63 mph at the Sioux City Gateway Airport. A short time later three-quarter inch diameter hail pelted the area. High winds caused damage in Plymouth County around LeMars. Numerous trees and power lines were downed. Part of a building was destroyed south of LeMars. The local utility company recorded a wind gust of 75 mph. A funnel cloud was sighted a short time earlier west of town. The storms clipped the far northwest corner of the state as well. Winds gusted to 78 mph at Sioux Center, causing damage around town. A funnel cloud was sighted in Lyon County at Alvord. A tornado also touched down in the area, a short distance east of Alvord. It struck two farms, causing extensive damage to each. Several buildings were downed on a farm near Hull, a machine shed, garage, and brooder coop were downed north of Hull. The storms worked their way northeast. Hail the size of quarters was reported later in the evening in Kossuth County, southwest of Algona. During this time, an area of thunderstorms developed over east-central Iowa. One of them dropped hail the size of quarters at Clarence in Cedar County. In Henry County, one-inch diameter was recorded at Mt. Pleasant. |
| May 1993 | Tornado (F2) | Larchwood | $500,000 | Border Crosser, went into Minnehaha County, SD at 1500CST. Intense thunderstorms developed ahead of an approaching cold front. This line was the first wave of storms to form. The bulk of the severe weather passed to the west and north of Iowa. One very large cell formed over the northwest corner of the state. It produced a tornado northwest of Larchwood, in the northwest corner of Lyon County. Buildings were damaged on three farms. A total of 10 buildings were destroyed as well as two silos. On one of the farms, the owner watched as a 1500 pound fertilizer tank was lifted 50 feet into the air and blew past his window. Total damage to the three farmsteads affected amounted to about $200,000. The only injury that occurred was to a bull on one of the farms. The bull sustained a broken leg. The tornado passed into southeast South Dakota shortly after this damage occurred. It was a border crossing tornado. |
| August 2021 | Hail | Larchwood | $300,000 | Multiple pictures received of very large hail around Larchwood. Hail size ranged from tennis ball to as much as 4 inches in diameter. Several cars and houses reported to have all windows broken out. Property damage costs are a rough estimate. |

The tornado traveled in a general east-southeast direction, striking a farmstead and flattening a silo within the first half-mile of its track. Within another minute, the tornado slashed through another farmstead, causing significant damage to a grain bin, large trees, and removed roofing from a home and a livestock shed. Around three miles west-southwest of Rock Rapids, several power transmission poles were broken. As the tornado passed just south of Rock Rapids, damage was mainly to trees, with several uprooted. The final structural damage occurred south of Rock Rapids just east of U.S. Highway 75 with roof panels torn off another livestock shed. The tornado lifted just over 2 miles southeast of Rock Rapids after crossing County Road K52. The average path width was 50 yards. |
