Local Weather History For July 18th...
1967: A severe hailstorm with giant hailstones battered the Idalou area late this afternoon devastating crops and
inflicting heavy damage to homes and businesses. Hardly a building along 1st Street was said to have escaped damage as
hundreds of windows on the north sides of buildings were shattered. Maturing cotton and fully-headed grain fields in the
vicinity were obliterated by giant hailstones up to grapefruit size. Agricultural losses were said to be $500,000 with at
least $200,000 in property damage.
