1960: Hail the size of a hen egg caused from moderate damage to total loss to corn, soybean, and grain crops on 50 to 75 farms in Marshall, Roberts, and Grant Counties. High winds caused damage to buildings and uprooted trees in Britton.

1954: Severe thunderstorms produced golf ball sized hail for 30 minutes in north central Kansas. One drift of hail measured 200 feet long, 70 feet wide and 3 feet deep.

1985: An aircraft accident occurred at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport at approximately 6 p.m. Neither the crew nor air traffic control was aware that below what appeared to be a rather insignificant thunderstorm existed a strong downdraft of cold, dense air. Upon final approach, the pilot of the Lockheed L-1011 ran into the microburst and was unable to lift out of it. He lost control of the aircraft, hitting several objects on the ground before finally crashing into a water tank near the runway. 133 people were killed and 31 were injured.
