WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
October 2022Thunderstorm WindCorn Hill$50,000An NWS storm survey team surveyed wind damage farther north of a tornado track, near CR 313. Numerous homes and businesses sustained minor roof damage east of I-35, both north and south of CR-313. Many fences were also blown down. A fire station had its doors blown out. A business along the west side of I-35 also had garage doors blown out and another had a trailer that was rolled onto the I-35 service road. All damage was in a roughly west to east orientation. The survey team could not find evidence of a tornado and concluded the damage was most likely caused by a large swath of 60-80 mph straight-line winds.
