Lewistown, the town this property stands in, in 27 storm reports between 1994 and 2026: 13 thunderstorm wind, 12 hail, 1 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.
An X/Twitter post reported mostly quarters to golf ball sized hail falling in Lewistown. The person found at least one hailstone measured to be 2.5 inches and photographed the measurement.
Thunderstorms produced a wide swath of damaging winds as it moved east southeast across the county. In Lewistown, a large tree was blown over onto an unoccupied mobile home. In Ewing, the roof was blown off of a church and numerous trees were blown down around town. In Canton, there was widespread tree damage and numerous trees uprooted or snapped off. Also, an unanchored mobile home was pushed off of its foundation.
An intense bow echo moved through Lewistown, blowing down numerous trees, tree limbs and power lines. Two large trees fell onto homes in town causing extensive damage. One house had its roof shifted which caused the ceiling to crash to the floor. No injuries were reported.
Downburst winds caused extensive damage on the south side of Lewistown. A narrow corridor of enhanced winds, approximately 40 yards wide extended from the western edge of the town, between Monticello and Arbell Streets to Elm Street to the east. Two mobile homes located west of Cherry Street were completely destroyed. There were no occupants in either mobile home. A radio tower outside of the Lewistown Fire Station, which is on Cherry Street, was blown down. A number of trees and large tree limbs were blown down in the area. Pieces of the first mobile home were wrapped around one large tree trunk east of Cherry Street while much of the second mobile home was partially wrapped around and pushed against a large tree. The home east of this point was protected by a large tree from much of the mobile home debris. Winds were estimated around 100 mph in this area. South of Arbell Street to the far southeastern part of town, damaging downburst winds were observed. A few large trees fell on homes over this area. A window was blown out on the Lewis County C-1 school on State Route J near the intersection with County Road 208. The downburst wind damage area extended a bit further east to S. Oak Street. No injuries were reported and no damage estimate was available.
Downburst winds destroyed a machine shed in an open field about a quarter mile east of the intersection of Highway DD and County Road 204. A little further to the east, a barn was destroyed. The debris from this barn extended half a mile to the east southeast.
Thunderstorm winds blew off part of the roof of a building. The debris was scattered for over a quarter of a mile to the east. Four other buildings on the property sustained minor roof or wall damage. Also, some of the metal roof was wrapped around a power pole nearby.
