282 NOUS43 KGLD 111200 PNSGLD Public Information Statement National Weather Service Goodland KS 600 AM MDT Tue Jun 11 2024 ...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY... In 1928, a tornado struck McCook Nebraska. The McCook Tribune reported that the tornado entered the city from the southwest near West 4th Street at about 8 in the evening, tearing a path between West 4th and West 1st Streets. Numerous homes were destroyed or damaged, but there were no fatalities and comparatively few severe injuries. A resident who witnessed the tornado described a jumping, whipping tail that swept the ground, razing some homes while leaving others nearby untouched. In 2011, a thunderstorm produced quarter to golf ball sized hail continuously for 30 minutes northwest of Saint Francis, Kansas. Hail was reported to be four inches deep and nearly two and three quarter inches of rain also accompanied the storm. $$
