Farmington, the town this property stands in, in 69 storm reports between 1993 and 2026: 38 hail, 31 thunderstorm wind.
The reports record 1 injury. 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.
Multiple sources including the public and amateur radio operators reported estimated 60mph wind gusts in the Farmington area. Only minor tree damage was noted from the gusts.
Thunderstorm winds blew down several trees at the intersection of Highway OO and Highway F just southeast of Farmington, blocking the roadway for a time.
Thunderstorm winds caused major damage to a barn on Westmeyer Road on the south side of town. Also, several trees, tree limbs and power lines were blown down around town.
Golf ball-size hail fell in Bonne Terre with numerous large trees down over central parts of the county. Several windows were broken in the Park Hills area due to large hail and the strong wind gusts. A commercial building in Park Hills also sustained roof damage when a section of the roof peeled back. The county sheriff's department also reported hail the size of quarters before the storm moved out of the county.
