Marinette, the town this property stands in, in 18 storm reports between 1994 and 2024: 8 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 1 flash flood, 1 heavy rain.
The reports record 1 death and 1 injury. 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.
Runoff from rainfall and snow melt led to minor flooding and rapid flows on the Menominee River near and downstream from McAllister. Shortly before the flooding subsided, a fishing boat capsized in Marinette causing two men to fall into the river. One was rescued shortly thereafter and was treated and released from the hospital. The other drowned and his body was discovered two days later near Oconto in the waters of Green Bay, more than 15 miles from Marinette.
