Strasburg, the town this property stands in, in 42 storm reports between 1994 and 2024: 25 hail, 11 thunderstorm wind, 4 tornado, 2 funnel cloud.
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 storage building was destroyed and two others were severely damaged. A well built hardware store awning was damaged by a falling tree. Several trees were uprooted, and tree limbs around 13 inches in diameter were snapped.
Downburst winds of 87 kts (100 mph) caused widespread damage to numerous weak or high profile buildings in parts of southeast Emmons county. Even though there was heavy property damage, there were no fatalities or injuries. No one reported a tornado although there were unconfirmed reports of funnel clouds. Two trailer houses near Strasburg were destroyed as well as grain bins, pole barns, and farm machinery. The county emergency manager reported no damage in the city of Strasburg, just heavy rain and gusty winds. Monetary damage estimates are likely underestimated.
Nickel to quarter size hail fell in an area from Westfield to Strasburg. The hail wiped out the sunflower crop. Two foot drifts of hail was reported when the storm ended. The hail also knocked out some windows.
