| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2016 | Tornado (EF4) | Solomon | 5 hurt | The long track violent tornado began 1-2 miles NNE of Niles Kansas and destroyed 2 homes in Ottawa county before crossing into Dickinson county north of Solomon. The tornado tracked 2-3 miles north of the city of Abilene following a meandering path approximately east along 2700 avenue in Dickinson county before veering southeast and crossing interstate 70 approx. 2 miles west of the city of Chapman. The tornado then moved ESE and then east along a path around 1 mile south of Chapman destroying 1 farmstead and several other homes in the area. The worst damage was done to a farmstead 1 mile southwest of Chapman along old highway 40 where the home was destroyed and all outbuildings were blown away. The sub floor of the home was removed from a bolted sill plate and the poured concrete foundation was cracked on the south side exposing the rebar where the strongest forces from the lifting structure occurred as it was being removed and blown away likely occurred. Much of the brick facade of the home did remain where it fell around the structure however so the area was not swept clean. Winds approaching 200 mph were likely in this area while a woman home at the time took shelter in the basement and was ok with only superficial injuries. The approximate number of minor injuries was 5 reported to NWS however none required a hospital visit. Photos of the damage are available off of the NWS damage assessment toolkit website at https://apps.dat.noaa.gov/StormDamage/DamageViewer/ . |

The strongest part of the storm passed through the county during the late morning. The first damage report from the county came into the office at 1040 CST. As the storm moved through the county it produced a wide swath of damage approximately 10 miles wide. Numerous powerlines were snapped from the strong winds. For the immediate few hours after the storm passed through Dickinson county every north-south thoroughfare was blocked by the downed power lines. Spotters who had fairly extensive damage done to their property estimated the winds at 90 to 100 mph. Several outbuildings were completely destroyed by the wind. Several houses sustained minor damage to the exterior from high winds and small hail. |
