Blissfield, the town this property stands in, in 8 storm reports between 1994 and 2019: 4 hail, 3 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.
Two witnesses confirmed sighting of tornado touchdown, preceded by a brief hail storm, that destroyed a 75 x 100 foot cattle barn, a 30 x 70 foot pig barn, and an antique windmill. Another 50 x 70 foot barn was damaged, and a fallen tree damaged the wall of a home.
Hail damaged fruit and vegetable crops in Palmyra Township. Winds blew down a large tree in Blissfield that crushed a garage. Thunderstorm winds toppled trees and power lines across the county.
