| July 2013 | Thunderstorm Wind | Roosville | $10,500 | As a right-moving supercell approached the Eureka airport, it unleashed severe downdraft winds as reported by the AWOS sensor from the southwest direction for at least 12 minutes. The observer at the airport reported that one airplane flipped over, steel siding was torn off from a hanger, a telephone booth blew over, and an awning structure blew off. |
| July 2013 | Hail | Roosville | $6,000 | On the afternoon of Wednesday July 17th 2013, a right-moving supercell thunderstorm produced up to one inch hail with estimated winds near 80 mph just north of the Eureka airport in Montana. According to homeowners in the area, the mostly marble-sized hail flew sideways due to the hurricane force wind damaging roof shingles, siding, windows, paint and vehicles, and shredding vegetation. Trees toppled over in a northeast direction implying that winds could have been from the southwest. |
