Storms near this place

11 since 2000

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Terrace in 11 storm reports between 2000 and 2020: 6 hail, 3 thunderstorm wind, 2 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
June 2012	Thunderstorm Wind	Terrace	$100,000	Severe straight-line winds caused a widespread area of damage from north of Terrace, east-northeast through the Sedan area towards Grove Lake. Damages consisted of uprooted trees, structural damage, and damage to grain bins.
September 2017	Thunderstorm Wind	Terrace	-	A couple dozen trees were blown down or broken. Damage was scant, and therefore the storm survey was unable to determine if this was downburst or the continuation of the Camp Lake tornado. Radar data suggest it was probably downburst winds in the wake of the tornado.
May 2015	Tornado (EF0)	Terrace	-	This tornado mostly moved across open fields, and was recorded on video by numerous storm chasers and spotters. After it touched down in an open field east of Terrace, it lifted off briefly and came back down a couple of times before moving through the western edge of Sedan. The tornado caused about a dozen trees to be uprooted at a cemetery on the northwest edge of Sedan. This was a multiple vortex tornado. It also appears there may have been a satellite tornado that touched down in the back yard of a house on County Road 29, 1/2 mile south of Sedan, but the video is inconclusive as to whether it was a satellite tornado or part of the main tornadic circulation.
July 2003	Thunderstorm Wind	Terrace	-	Few trees down.
July 2000	Tornado (F0)	Terrace	-	Touchdown developed over open field, no damage reported.
July 2020	Hail	Terrace	-	no account filed
September 2019	Hail	Terrace	-	no account filed
August 2013	Hail	Terrace	-	no account filed
