1989: A complex of thunderstorms moved from southwest Minnesota through Iowa. One small tornado touched down briefly in Lyon County. But the main story with this complex was high winds and hail. Baseball size hail fell just north of George in Lyon County. In addition, two inch hail occurred in Sac County in Schaller and Odebolt and golf ball size hail fell in Caroll, Iowa. Needless to say, the hail caused a lot of damage to vehicles, trees and roofs. Thunderstorm winds of 60 miles an hour were also common across all of northwest Iowa with these storms.

1878: An F4 tornado struck Mineral Point, WI killing 17 and injuring 45. A record book was carried 60 miles from a schoolhouse. In Primrose Township, the deed to Chandler Farm was found 10 miles away. Also, an F4 tornado moved from Elgin to Barrington in northeast Illinois. A farmhouse was lofted 150 feet into the air before shattering, killing the two occupants.

2003: Dense fog in Maryland was responsible for an 80-car pile-up on I-68 near Finzel.
