Storms near this property

28 since 1993

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Lancaster, the town this property stands in, in 28 storm reports between 1993 and 2024: 13 hail, 9 thunderstorm wind, 5 flash flood, 1 tornado. The reports record 1 death. 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 2010	Flash Flood	Lancaster	1 killed	Flash flooding caused pavement over a culvert to give way. This caused the front end of a vehicle, to fall through the roadway. While attempting to get out of the vehicle, a 32 year old male, was swept away by the current and drowned.
April 1994	Thunderstorm Wind	Lancaster	$50,000	The county sheriff reported wind damage to the roof of a house.
April 1993	Thunderstorm Wind	Lancaster	$50,000	The county sheriff reported two damaged garages in Glenwood. A television weatherman from KTVO in Kirksville reported several signs blown down and a mobile home flipped over at Lancaster. Time was estimated.
July 2006	Tornado (F1)	Lancaster	$15,000	Tornado touched down along D highway 1.75 miles south-southeast of Lancaster at 1935 CST. A damage path was noted for 1.1 miles, and the storm damaged 3 farmsteads directly. The first farmstead had an outbuilding destroyed and windows blown out of the farmhouse. As the tornado moved south, two barns were destroyed at the second farmstead. Near Gray's Drive and Highway D, just southwest of the D and V Highway intersection, additional damage was noted to a third farmstead, with significant low-end F1 damage to outbuildings. Numerous trees and power lines were also downed along Highway D. Anecdotal observations suggest the tornado turned left before dissipating at 1938 CST, and then may have looped back north along Highway D to near the Highways D and V intersection, where minor damage was noted to a fourth homestead.
