Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Baldwin City, the town this property stands in, in 2 storm reports in 1995: 1 thunderstorm wind, 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.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 1995 | Tornado (F1) | Baldwin City | $1,000,000 | A small tornado formed along the north edge of a strong downburst and moved mainly across open fields. The tornado skipped across the county destroying several farm buildings, a motorhome and farm equipment. However, with widespread straightline wind damage in the area, it was difficult to distinguish between the cause(s) of the damage. The most significant damage occurred along and about one to two miles west of highway 33. |
| April 1995 | Thunderstorm Wind | Baldwin City | $20,000 | High winds tore down power poles and lines knocking out electricity for several hours. |
