federal wildfire occurrence database
lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Harmony Hill Dairy House

Williamsburg, the town this property stands in, in 25 storm reports between 1994 and 2023: 12 thunderstorm wind, 8 hail, 4 flash flood, 1 flood.
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.
The beginning of an enhanced area of wind damage occurred when a large tree fell on to a parked vehicle on Macedonia Road north of Bethel. The neighborhood of Concord Meadow Lane had numerous trees uprooted and damage to siding and roofing of a few houses. Additional similar damage was observed on Concord Hennings Mill Road to the east of Concord Meadow Lane. Further to the northeast, several trees were uprooted along State Route 133.||Widespread tree damage was noted on the south end of Santa Barbara Drive with numerous large hardwood trees uprooted and snapped, damaging some outbuildings. Similar damage was noted just to the northeast at the Williamsburg Junior Athletic Association Fields. Roofing material was blown off, outbuildings tipped over, and metal dugout awnings were destroyed. Soccer goals were pushed downfield and over a fence. A house across the street sustained damage to its siding. Wind speeds in the Santa Barbara Drive and athletic field areas were estimated to be around 90 miles per hour.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
