This Day In Weather History

In 1990, the infamous "inland hurricane" roared across South Central Kansas. Winds from 80 to a staggering 120 mph tore along a 30-mile track from Pratt to Emporia. Several buildings were unroofed and almost all of the TV and radio stations were knocked off the air. These astounding winds caused around $80 million damage and injured 33 people.

In 1992, two rounds of severe thunderstorms struck South Central Kansas. Round one struck early in the morning when severe thunderstorms erupted over Sedgwick County, bombarding some areas with hail as large as softballs. Later that morning, round two struck an even larger area with baseball to softball sized hail. The two episodes combined to injure 69 people and caused around $600 million damage. At the time, it was the costliest natural disaster in Kansas history.
