1995: Flooding, resulting from snowmelt from the two major snowstorms in April and saturated soils, caused extensive road damage and inundation. This caused several road closings and numerous flooded basements in many counties. In addition, many lakes were overfull in Day and Campbell Counties. Flooded farmland caused severe delays in small grain planting. Spink, Sully, McPherson, and Brown Counties were declared disasters.

2010: Very strong south winds developed over central and northeast South Dakota in the early afternoon and continued into the early evening hours. South winds of 30 to 50 mph with gusts to near 70 mph caused some structural and shingle damage across the area. In Presho, the chamber sign was blown down with a carport tipped and damaged. A pickup on Interstate-90 lost a camper to the high winds. The high winds, combined with lowered humidity and dry fuels, helped fan several grassland fires across the region. The largest fire was started from a downed power line in Campbell County near the town of Glenham. The fire grew to be five miles long by two miles wide and traveled eight miles before it was brought under control. Almost 6000 acres were burned with nearly 20 fire departments dispatched

1921: Melissa, TX was hit squarely by an F4 tornado that destroyed the town's business section along with 40 homes and all of the village's churches. In the town's school 240 children were huddled under their desks on the first floor while part of the second floor was ripped apart. The teacher was bruised as she struggled to hold a door shut, but no lives were lost in the school. Eleven people were killed elsewhere, a toll that would have been higher except that the roar of the tornado was so loud that people heard it and took shelter.

1984: Between 11-14 April 1984, in St Johns, Newfoundland, ice accumulated up to 6 inches thick on power lines. Power outages left 200,000 residents of Avalon Peninsula in the dark and cold.

1987: Wind gusts up to 98 mph in northern Texas were caused by thunderstorms. At the Killeen Airport, storms caused $1 million in damage. Two planes were destroyed and ten others damaged.
