Tipton, the town this property stands in, in 29 storm reports between 1995 and 2024: 17 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 4 flash flood, 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 touched down along Alexander Road just east of intersection with Hays Road at 10:59 pm (northeast of Tipton, MO) snapping off several power poles. It tracked to the east snapping off several large trees, destroying an unoccupied mobile home, and causing minor roof damage to an outbuilding. Then the tornado veered, tracking to the northeast and causing damage to an open sided outbuilding after crossing over Cross Lane Road. The tornado soon lifted and dissipated just south of Old Twelve Highway. Overall, the tornado was rated EF1 with a path length of 1.70 miles and a max path width of 30 yards. No deaths or injuries were reported.
Thunderstorm winds caused widespread wind damage across Tipton. Numerous trees and tree limbs, as well as power lines were blown down. Some of the fallen trees and tree limbs caused damage to vehicles and houses. Also, four utility poles were blown down.
Very heavy rain, between one and three inches of rain, fell over a short amount of time on already saturated soils. Over a foot of water was reported over Park Avenue in California and 6 inches of water was flowing over U.S. 50 on the west side of Tipton. Several secondary roads had water over them as well.
Up to four inches of rain fell in a short amount of time causing flash flooding. U.S. Highway 50 had a foot of water flowing over it about a mile west of Tipton.
Thunderstorm winds blew down several large tree limbs around town. One large tree limb fell onto power lines attached to the house. This pulled the electric meter off of the house. No other structural damage was reported at this location.
Up to three inches of rain fell in a short amount of time on saturated soils causing flash flooding. Numerous roads were flooded including Highway BB southeast of Tipton. Also, a car was washed off of Highway BB just south of U.S. 50. No one was injured due to the incident.
Amateur radio spotters reported trees down in Tipton. The roof of a historic building in town was also blown off. The stone cornice of the building fell off at a later date because of the damage.
