Flushing, the town this property stands in, in 32 storm reports between 1995 and 2021: 21 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 2 tornado, 1 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.
The tornado path extended from just northeast of Calkins and North McKinley Rd, just west of Elms Rd between Corunna and Calkins Rd. The most significant damage, consistent with EF1 damage, was along Calkins Rd, west of Morrish Road; and along Morrish Road, south of Calkins Rd. Peak winds were estimated at 100 mph. Notable damage included three garages that were either partially or completely destroyed. Additional damage included minor structural damage to adjacent homes, including the loss of roofing materials and siding. There was sporadic tree and crop damage along the path.
A National Weather Service storm survey determined that a downburst (strait line thunderstorm winds) hit portions of northeastern Flushing Township and northwestern Mt Morris Township. Damage included numerous downed trees and limbs, some of which fell onto homes and cars. The downburst was aproximately 4 miles long and 2 to 3 miles wide.
A National Weather Service storm survey revealed a classic downburst/straight-line wind event in Flushing. Total damage included over a dozen trees uprooted, a dozen more snapped off at the trunk, widespread large tree branches down, and one garage door blown inward. Wind speeds were estimated at 80 MPH.
