Stanley, the town this property stands in, in 59 storm reports between 1995 and 2025: 31 hail, 22 thunderstorm wind, 2 heavy rain, 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.
Severe thunderstorm winds damaged the rafters on a machine storage building. The building was under construction with only the frame of the building finished. Time of the event was based on radar.
Trained weather spotters reported damage from the severe thunderstorm wind gusts. A small metal building was reported blown into a ditch, numerous tree branches were blown down, and one window was reported blown out of a trailer home.
Carport damaged. Also, debris struck a nearby building and damaged the upper part near the roof. Vehicle damage reported as well. The peak severe wind gust episode at 822 PM CST appeared to be caused by the thunderstorm collapsing.
