Marion, the town this property stands in, in 39 storm reports between 1995 and 2026: 25 hail, 13 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado.
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.
Hail broke windows and otherwise damaged cars and houses. The hail also caused extensive crop damage in the area, with soybeans being the worst hit. Corn was also damaged, although to a lesser extent due to its maturity. The amount of the crop damage was undetermined.
Thunderstorm winds caused widespread tree damage, including large trees blown down. Several vehicles were damaged by falling trees or wind blown tree debris, at least two being destroyed.
Thunderstorm winds blew down a wall and blew the roof off of a shed at a lumber yard. The roof hit power lines and knocked out power to much of the town. The winds also caused undetermined damage to corn crops.
Corn was stripped by large amounts of half-dollar sized hail along 280th Street. Crop damage is an estimate from insured losses. Information provided by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Large hail caused severe crop damage, especially just west of Marion where the hail fell for 15 minutes and covered the ground. Several soybean crops were completely destroyed, and other bean and corn crops were damaged to the extent of producing greatly reduced yields.
