Holton, the town this property stands in, in 74 storm reports between 1994 and 2024: 41 hail, 18 thunderstorm wind, 7 flash flood, 3 lightning.
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.
Lightning struck a watershed district building and showered down fist sized pieces of concrete to the street below. One piece of concrete hit and damaged a car.
Debris field along road indicated water of 10 to 15 inches deep had been flowing over the road. Also, a nearby roadway was washed out. The next day after the water had receded, a man sustained serious but indirect injuries when he drove over a culvert on the road. The culvert collapsed under the weight of the car he was driving.
A tornado touched down just north of Holton damaging a well constructed barn. Large portions of the roof were blown off and some of the walls were blown out from winds estimated to be up to 90 mph. The tornado skipped northeast across the county side and produced some tree damage as it moved towards Straight Creek.
Several roads remain closed due to flooding. Elk creek from Circleville to the Atchison county line is out of its banks. There are a couple of bridges that were damaged, one of which may fail near Whiting.
Heavy rains of 6 to 11 inches caused flooding in many areas. Many roads were closed and extensive crop damage occurred. Many small creeks and streams went out of their banks for a time. The heavy rains occurred over a 24 hour period beginning early on the 19th.
