🌪️ This Week In Tornado History
June 24, 1914 - Halder, WI: Per Thomas Grazulis, an estimated F2 tornado destroyed a house and barn near Halder, WI. ” A wedding reception had been taking place when the storm started. The guests stayed late, waiting for the storm to end before heading home. The deaths (5) were all in the barn, where the young people had gone to wait, and most of the injuries (20) were in the home. Barn debris was carried for over a mile.”
June 25, 1902 - Berea/Cartersville, KY: An F2 tornado across portions of Garrard and Madison Counties in Kentucky. An elderly man and a child were killed in a house 2 miles west of Berea. Two others died near Cartersville. At least 15 homes were destroyed.
June 26, 1994 - Iron City (TN)-Mary’s Chapel (AL): Forty tornadoes were confirmed on June 26, 1994 per the Storm Prediction Center Tornado Database. One of the strongest pressed through parts of Southern Tennessee into Northern AL.

June 27, 2015 - North Dakota: An EF2 tornado tracked for four miles through rural Grand Forks County, ND, east of Northwood. It tracked through open farm fields and shelterbelts. Extensive tree damage occurred in the shelterbelts, with some trees being debarked.
June 28, 1924 - Portage County, OH: An F3 tornado crossed through portions of Portage County, Ohio. “Three men were killed at milking time in three separate barns near Mantua.” At Nelson, many of the buildings were unroofed or had other varying degrees of damage. Source: Thomas Grazulis.
June 29, 2014 - Dodgeville, WI: Two EF2 tornadoes struck north of Dodgeville, WI. Several homes were damaged, and farm buildings were destroyed.
June 30, 1977 - Fremont, OH: This was an interesting event to explore. There is a rating difference. SPC lists a rating of F1 while Grazulis has a rating of F2. I found a newspaper report from The News-Messenger (Fremont, Ohio) with a headline that reads, “It wasn’t a tornado, but it hurt.” So, not only a rating difference but a question at one point on whether this was a tornado at all?
