| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Tipton | - | A survey of damage near Haviland revealed an intense microburst impacted farmland in the area of State Route 114 between Roads 79 and 87. Several swaths of damage occurred with wind speeds in the 80 to 85 mph range. The southernmost swath impacted a 70 foot by 140 foot pole barn, destroying it and carrying debris up to 2 miles to the southeast. A lack of strong anchoring (which is typical for this region) contributed to the destruction and subsequent lowered wind speeds (SBO-8). A grain elevator system collapsed partially. No other structure damage was noted to several other buildings on the property. To the immediate east of the microburst impact and also towards the northeast numerous power poles were snapped in groups of 15 to 20, along Road 107. Recent wet ground, older wood and harmonics of the poles and wires moving. A farm near the intersection of Road 107 and SR 114 suffered no damage to any buildings. Wind speeds are estimated between 80 and 85 mph. The line noted in this entry is the estimated center point of the swath of damage. |
| June 2017 | Flash Flood | Tipton | - | Emergency management officials reported several roads with water on them across portions of the county. The hardest hit area extended from near Haviland northeast to Charloe and Oakwood. Mesonet sites recorded four to over five inches of rain falling in the area. The highest amount was 5.17 inches southwest of Charloe. At least two culverts were washed out on county roads near Melrose and Hedges. Water was reported as deep as three feet on the Baughman Tile Company, on State Route 637, north of State Route 613. Several houses near Blue Creek experienced flooding issues due to its flashy nature. No rescues were reported. |
