West Union, the town this property stands in, in 16 storm reports between 1997 and 2025: 11 hail, 4 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.
A tornado damaged a garage that was rotated slightly, and its door was bowed out, and a few shingles were damaged. Other damage was associated with large tree limbs blown down along the tornado's path.
This is the continuation of a swath of large hail that developed across Stevens County, and moved northeast across northwest Pope, southeast Douglas, and over the southern part of Todd County. There was a measured report of golf ball size hail north of West Union. This swath of large hail continued to north of Swanville.
