Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Valley Center, the town this property stands in, in 79 storm reports between 1994 and 2026: 32 thunderstorm wind, 32 hail, 5 flash flood, 5 heavy rain. The reports record 1 death and 3 injuries. 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
September 2008	Flash Flood	Valley Center	1 killed, 1 hurt, $7,000	Widespread heavy rains of 8 to 10 inches caused flooding of numerous county roads across Northern Sedgwick County. One fatality occurred to the south of the town of Sedgwick, near the 11200 block of North West, when a stalled motorist apparently attempted to flee his vehicle and was swept into the ditch by the fast moving water and drowned.
July 2008	Thunderstorm Wind	Valley Center	2 hurt, $250,000	An isolated thunderstorm produced severe downburst winds along with hail up to quarter size along and near Interstate 135 roughly between 109th Street and 101st Street. Four semis traveling on the interstate were blown over, blocking traffic for several hours. Various power lines and trees were downed. Additionally, copious amounts of pea to quarter size hail pummeled the same location for several minutes, producing hail drifts up to 6 inches deep. The hail in tandem with the wind shattered dozens of vehicle windows, producing two minor injuries due to flying glass. Additionally, at a nearby residence, a garage roof was peeled off, and a camper suffered major damage from the wind and hail.
July 1994	Thunderstorm Wind	Valley Center	$50,000,000	Hurricane-force winds blew across the county as thunderstorms rumbled through. Eighty-two mph winds were recorded in Valley Center where a metal shed was blown over and fences were damaged. The winds were not as strong when they went across Wichita and were about 65 mph. Damage in Wichita was mainly broken tree limbs and downed fences. Winds were clocked at 101 mph in Goddard where three trailers blew over and 70 feet of sheet metal was peeled off the side of the Rubbermaid plant. Clearwater was the hardest hit where the fire department lost its roof and ceiling and half of the lumber company building was blown away. Damage just to power lines and poles was $10 million. One hundred fifty thousand Kansas Gas and Electric customers were without power--some for four days. One Andale farmer lost ten percent of his corn crop, otherwise there was no major crop loss.
June 2011	Thunderstorm Wind	Valley Center	$400,000	Long track microburst moved northeast into the southern sections of Valley Center causing extensive damage.
September 2008	Flash Flood	Valley Center	$135,000	Rainfall amounts of 10.80 inches caused widespread flooding across Valley Center. Hit the hardest was the Praire Lakes subdivision, where the large amount of rain caused the retention pond around the subdivision to rise rapidly and flood basements and stall cars. The Valley Center school district dismissed students early due to the high water and blocked access in and out of Valley Center.
July 2005	Thunderstorm Wind	Valley Center	$10,000	Downed trees and power lines.
June 2000	Thunderstorm Wind	Valley Center	$10,000	Travel trailer blown over and power lines downed.
