Storms near this place
29 since 1997Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Tabler in 29 storm reports between 1997 and 2025: 24 hail, 4 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. 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.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 1998 | Thunderstorm Wind | Tabler | 1 hurt, $60,000 | Severe thunderstorm winds completely destroyed a mobile home east of Tabler. An infant that was in the trailer sustained a serious head injury, and was treated at a local hospital. The other 4 occupants received only minor scrapes and bruises. A neighboring trailer home was blown 18 inches east and siding was blown off a third mobile home. |
| May 1997 | Tornado (F1) | Tabler | $24,000 | This description, with very minimal editing, was taken from a damage survey conducted by a National Weather Service meteorologist on Monday May 26th (Memorial Day), the day after the tornado occurred.This tornado, rated F1, began 3 miles northeast of Tabler at 15:14 CST and tracked just south of due east for about 2.5 miles before dissipating 2.5 miles south-southwest of Middleberg at 15:24 CST. The maximum width of the damage path was 75 yards. Structural damage was confined to a dairy farm near the beginning of the track; otherwise, this tornado remained over mostly open country.Spotter observations and corresponding video confirm that the first tornado formed rapidly west of State Highway 9 at 15:14 CST, in mostly open country between Tabler and Middleberg. Survey results located the first signs of damage to trees just west of the Mid-Am Dairy Farm (or R & S Dairy), located 3 miles northeast of Tabler. More than a dozen trees lost large branches near and west of the dairy. At the dairy itself, a mobile home was destroyed, power lines were downed, and two metal outbuildings suffered heavy damage to roofs and walls. Metal grain silos also were damaged. Considering the construction of the outbuildings and the large piles of hay bales near the mobile home that were relatively unaffected, damage in this area was rated F1. The maximum path width of about 75 yards, based on visible damage and on video, was estimated to be in this area. Observations and video indicate that the tornado then proceeded eastward and eventually east-southeastward, narrowing to a thin, mostly vertical rope funnel that underwent several cycles of lifting and returning to ground contact. However, the circulation was likely in contact with the ground the entire time. The funnel crossed Highway 9 around 15:22 CST 2.5 miles southwest of Middleberg, where several trees lost large branches and a road sign was damaged. Between the dairy and this point, the tornado track was inaccessible. Although the funnel lifted from the ground shortly after crossing the highway, video confirms that a tight, small circulation with ground condensation persisted, crossing an open field southeast of the road. This rotation at the ground lasted about another two minutes before dissipating at about 15:24 CST. Since the tornado passed over open country, no further damage was found. |
