Salem, the town this property stands in, in 7 storm reports between 1996 and 2023: 3 funnel cloud, 2 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado, 1 hail.
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 report called in by a former spotter, strong gusty winds brought numerous trees down along Hwy. 22. Other reports from this storm included wind gusts strong enough to snap Cottonwood tree branches estimated at 10 to 12 inches in diameter along Hwy. 214.
Immediately after a thunderstorm with frequent lightning and small hail, a small tornado touched down. The tornado crossed an acre and a half of floodwater up to three feet deep and sucked all the water up into the funnel. The tornado continued on and picked up a 12-inch diameter cedar tree and tossed it into a barn. The tornado then changed direction and picked up an RV and threw it on its side.
