Hardest hit was the San Joaquin River system and the Delta region. Many area reservoirs had minimal flood storage space as per seasonal norms and the large inflows had to be balanced very carefully with downstream releases to protect the fragile San Joaquin levee system. While the bulk of the flooding affected agricultural and rural properties, some local areas adjacent to waterways experienced flooding of homes and many roads were impassable. However, through the efforts of advance flood-fight measures, careful monitoring of levees, and critical water management coordination among federal, state, and local agencies, the system performed as designed and more serious flooding was averted.

The flooding was limited lowland agricultural areas. Damage was very minor. Much of the flooding had subsided by the middle of the month. Cass County Atlantic 02 0016CST 0 0 Hail (0.75) A storm system was developing to the southwest of Iowa. Strong warm air advection ahead of the system resulted in a large area of thunderstorms. They were oriented in a line north to south. Though many of the storms produced some small hail, one of the storms became severe as it moved through the Atlantic area. Penny size hail was reported in the town of Atlantic.

Jasper County Valeria 02 1635CST 0 0 2K Hail (0.88) Polk County Ankeny 02 1638CST 0 0 2K Hail (0.88) An early spring storm lifted northeast out of the southwest U.S. The surface low pressure moved northeast into Iowa during the afternoon and pushed northeast out of the state during the evening. The dry punch moved into southern Iowa during the afternoon and the airmass became unstable. Lifted indices fell to the -1 to -4 C. range with CAPE values in the 400 to 1000 J/kg range. The LCL was fairly low during the afternoon, in the 600 to 800 meter range. With the upper low pressure area also lifting northeast into Iowa, the freezing level was quite low at 9700 feet AGL. Thunderstorms formed in an arc across Iowa at the nose of the dry punch. The storms lifted north into the central sections of the state by late afternoon. Many of the storms produced hail, some of which was severe. Reports of large hail were absent however. There were several reports of brief tornado touchdowns. None of them remained on the ground for more than a couple of minutes. Two brief touchdowns occurred in Davis County early on in the event. During the late afternoon, as the line of storms approached central Iowa, several brief touchdowns occurred. These reports were to the south of Des Moines in Warren County, and to the east of Des Moines in southeast Polk County. Damage report were limited as the touchdowns were so brief. As the storms moved across Warren County, high winds blew a car off the road near Carlisle. No injuries were reported.

Temperatures by late afternoon reached the mid 70s to mid 80s, however dew points only reached the low 50s. Precipitable water values were under an inch. I spite of this, there was enough destabilization to break the cap by the late afternoon hours. A surface low pressure tracked northeast into eastern Nebraska by early evening with the upper low lifting northeast across the area as well. Thunderstorms formed very late in the afternoon and became severe as they lifted northeast into Iowa. Lifted indices just before initiation were in the -3 to -4 C. range with CAPE values in the 700 to 750 J/kg range. The freezing level was generally in the 11,000 to 11,500 foot range in the near storm environment. The main mode of severe weather was high winds as the system became linear and raced northeast. There were some reports of three quarter to one inch diameter hail as well. Tornadoes did not materialize as the LC was in the 6000 to 8000 foot range. Wind caused damage from southwest into central Iowa. There were several reports of tree limb damage with some spotty reports of more significant damage. A pole barn was blown down by the high winds in Boone County. A car lot sign was blown down on the northeast side of Des Moines, and a chimney was blown off of a house in Urbandale.

Maximum temperatures reached the mid 80s to low 90s across the state. Dew point readings were in the upper 50s to low 60s. A weak frontal boundary extending north-northeast to south-southwest advanced into the state during the late afternoon. The airmass had become very unstable with Lifted Indices in the -5 to -8 range. CAPE values reached 3500 by the late afternoon hours. Thunderstorms erupted late in the afternoon and became severe very quickly. The main mode of severe weather with the storms was large hail. The freezing level was around 12,300 feet. Though quite high for mid April, it was easily low enough to make hail production easy. Several of the storms exhibited the structure of a tornadic supercell. The LCL was quite high however, at around 7300 feet. This limited the development of tornadoes somewhat. One tornado touched down in Tama County, northeast of Toledo. The tornado was on the ground briefly and touched down in an open field. No damage was reported with the tornado. Many of the storms produced large hail. There were numerous reports of one to two inch diameter hail. A couple of the storms produced very large hail. Hail of tennis ball to base ball size was reported in Hardin County south of Radcliffe and southwest of Hubbard. The same storm that produced the brief tornado touchdown in Tama County also produced hail of two and one half inches in diameter east of the Traer area.

A strong pressure gradient developed ahead of the low to the north of the warm front, which extended eastward across northern Missouri. During the late afternoon hours, winds were sustained in the 40 to 45 MPH range with occasional gusts to around 60 MPH were received. These winds caused some spotty damage, but the damage was quite limited due to the lack of significant leaf growth on the trees. Spotty damage to awnings and fences did occur however.

Moisture was somewhat limited with a narrow band of one to one and one quarter inch precipitable water values lifting northeast into the state. Temperatures warmed into the low 80s during the afternoon, but convection was hindered in most areas with dew points in the 30s to low 40s. A narrow band of dew points in the upper 50s to low 60s pushed into southwest Iowa by late afternoon. At the same time, a pronounced dryline pushed across Kansas. An arc of thunderstorms formed in response to the dryline and moved into western Iowa during the evening. Initially the airmass was quite unstable when the storms formed Lifted indices were around -8 C. with CAPE values in the 1500 to 2000 J/kg range. There were some reports of hail, but that was limited in spite of the 11,500 foot freezing level. The hail reports that were received were in the three quarter to one inch diameter range. During the early evening the LCL fell to around 600 meters. There were two waves of thunderstorms. The initial set moved through during the period of high winds over the southwest and central counties. These storms were very elevated and clearly in an inverted "V" sounding environment. The downdrafts from the storms enhanced the winds as they passed. One produced downburst winds around 60 MPH in Grimes and tore a trailer door off. One tornado touched down in Audubon County southwest of Audubon. The tornado touched down in open fields and did not cause any damage. There were a few reports of high winds due to the storms. A combination of two things caused the high winds. One was the storms themselves initially as the flow in the low levels, the lowest 500 meters, was in the 50 to 60 kt range. The other occurred as the storms started to weaken. Soundings indicated that during the dissipation stage, the storms moved into a near storm environment that exhibited an inverted "V" sounding. This was the case in Taylor County at Lenox, where high winds tor the roof off of a hardware store and ripped the roof off of a hog confinement building. Several hogs were killed at the confinement farm. In Adams County, high winds resulted in the collapse of strong thunderstorms over the northern part of the county. The outflow rush produced winds estimated around 75 MPH south of Prescott. Numerous machine sheds and barns were damaged in the area. Eight inch diameter trees were downed as well as a few TV and Radio towers. Other reports of winds in the 60 to 65 MPH range were received, but little damage was reported.

A surface low formed and tracked east-northeast across northern Missouri into Illinois during the late afternoon and evening hours. Moisture with this system was quite limited with surface dew points holding in the 50s across southern Iowa. In spite of the limited moisture, with precipitable water values around one inch, thunderstorms fired during the evening hours. The wind profile was quite favorable for thunderstorm development, and freezing levels were relatively low, in the 11,000 to 12,000 foot range. The bulk of the severe weather was to the south of Iowa, however thunderstorms developed in south central into central Iowa during the evening. There were a few reports of high winds, but most of the storms produced hail. The severe storms produced three quarter inch to one inch diameter hail from the south central counties into the central counties. The most significant wind damage occurred in Jasper County around the Colfax area. High winds downed power poles in the area.

A strong spring storm system moved from the central Plains into the Great Lakes region on 2 April 2006. A strong low level jet of 40-50 knots (46-58 mph) allowed thunderstorms to develop in the semi-moist atmosphere of the warm sector. These storms rapidly developed into a squall line that raced northeast across far northeast Missouri, southeast Iowa, and west central Illinois. The storms were prolific non-severe hail producers while at the same time producing severe hail. Eight tornadoes were produced across southeast Iowa and west central Illinois by this squall line. A second squall line developed along the occluded front in eastern Iowa and moved northeast into northwest Illinois producing some wind and hail damage.

Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with many roads around the county closed due to flooding. The Red River bridges at Drayton, Joliette, and Pembina were also closed during the flood. The border crossing at Noyes was also closed. At Lake Bronson State Park, one campsite was closed due to flooding. Several Coast Guard units were brought in to assist residents with emergencies through the use of airboats and helicopters. Kittson County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

In summary, the total public and private flood losses experienced within the Red River of the North basin through late March and April 2006 were likely in excess of $20 million. This includes the following amounts. For Minnesota state and local infrastructure (this total includes the damages listed for each county), $8.5 million. For North Dakota state and local infrastructure (this total includes the damages listed for each county), $8 million. For Federal agencies (USACE, USGS, and USCG), $1.5 million. For the transportation industry costs due to traffic diversions caused by prolonged road and bridge closures, $1.5 million. For personal property losses due to floodwaters surrounding more than 500 individual farmsteads and rural homesteads, $1.0 million. Mahnomen County Countywide 01 0000CST 0 0 Flood 07 2359CST Due to the quick snowmelt, water quickly drained into low areas, damaging many roads and bridges around the county. Marshall County Countywide 01 0000CST 0 0 1.6M Flood 26 2359CST The Red River at Oslo rose above flood stage around 1 AM CST on April 1st and remained above flood stage until around 10 AM CST on April 26th. The river peaked at roughly 37.70 feet around 8 PM CST on April 6th. Unofficially, 37.70 feet would be the fourth highest modern-day river stage recorded. The highest modern-day river stage of 11.16 feet (unofficial) was recorded on the Snake River at Alvarado on April 2nd. The Red River spread well out of it banks from around Oslo northward, essentially becoming a lake. Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with many roads around the county closed due to flooding. The ring-diked town of Oslo was completely surrounded by flood water. Minnesota State Highway 1 was closed east of Oslo and State Highway 220 was closed in spots north of Oslo. The Red River bridge at Oslo was closed during the peak of the flood as was the Red River bridge east of Grafton (ND). With Oslo being cut off, 20 of the town's children could not attend their school in Warren. For several days, these children gathered at the Oslo American Legion building to keep up with classwork. The Minnesota Governor authorized the National Guard to assist in the flood fight, working on dike patrols, security, and traffic control. Several Coast Guard units were brought in to assist residents with emergencies through the use of airboats and helicopters. After the spring flood of 1997, many communities along the Red River looked at ways to mitigate flood effects. Oslo is the only community located next to the Red River and its ring dike kept the floodwaters at bay. Marshall County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

MINNESOTA, Northwest Norman County Countywide 01 0000CST 0 0 1.3M Flood 17 2359CST The Red River at Halstad (MN) rose above flood stage around 4 PM CST on March 31st and remained above flood stage until around 3 AM CST on April 17th. The river peaked at roughly 39.31 feet around 8 PM CST on April 6th. Unofficially, 39.31 feet would be the third highest modern-day river stage recorded. The second highest modern-day river stages (unofficial) were recorded on the Wild Rice River at Hendrum (32.39 feet on April 5th) and on the Marsh River at Shelly (25.03 feet on April 3rd). Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with over 75 roads around the county closed due to flooding. Red River bridges at Perley (MN), Hendrum (MN), and Shelly (MN) were all closed. This left the State Highway 200 bridge as the only open Red River bridge between Fargo/Moorhead and Grand Forks/East Grand Forks. U.S. Highway 75 was closed in spots in western Norman County. Roads were also closed south and west of Ada. East of Perley and Hendrum, water completely covered at least a dozen sections of land, stranding several herds of cattle. The Minnesota Governor authorized the National Guard to assist in the flood fight, working on dike patrols, security, and traffic control. Classes were cancelled from April 3rd through the 5th at Norman County West School in Halstad, for flood fighting and to make room for the Minnesota Guard troops. A mile south of Halstad, a woman drove around a barricaded (flooded) road and was swept off the road and into a nearby flooded farm field. Two people passing by rushed to her aid and rescued her. All 3 people suffered minor hypothermia from being in the cold water. After the spring flood of 1997, many communities along the Red River looked at ways to mitigate flood effects. Permanent dikes held in the Halstad and Hendrum, so most of the flood fighting took place at rural farmsteads. Norman County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

In summary, the total public and private flood losses experienced within the Red River of the North basin through late March and April 2006 were likely in excess of $20 million. This includes the following amounts. For Minnesota state and local infrastructure (this total includes the damages listed for each county), $8.5 million.

The river peaked at roughly 47.85 feet around 2 AM CST on April 6th. Unofficially, 47.85 feet would be the fifth highest modern-day river stage recorded. The seventh highest modern-day river stage of 25.00 feet (unofficial) was recorded on the Red Lake River at Crookston on April 2nd. The Red Lake River crest actually arrived in the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks area prior to the Red River crest. On the Red Lake River, an ice jam caused the river to peak a second time, just after the first crest. A voluntary evacuation occurred for neighborhoods along the Red Lake River, but few people actually evacuated. Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with many roads around the county closed due to flooding. State Highway 220 was closed north of East Grand Forks. Red River bridges at Nielsville (MN), Climax (MN), and east of Thompson (ND) were closed due to flooding. In the city of East Grand Forks, the Sorlie and the Point Red River bridges were also closed. This left the U.S. Highway 2 bridge as the only Red River crossing open in the county. The Minnesota Governor authorized the National Guard to assist in the flood fight, working on dike patrols, security, and traffic control. After the spring flood of 1997, many communities along the Red River looked at ways to mitigate flood effects. The permanent levee system constructed around East Grand Forks got its first test and performed well. Many low-lying or flood-prone neighborhoods close to the rivers were bought out and razed, which allowed both rivers to spread out into wider channels through the cities. Polk County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

This event can be referred as a "Wake Low" event. This occurs as steady rain falls across an area and causes the air pressure to remain high. The "Wake Low" comes as the back edge of the rain shield dissipates and the air pressure is allowed to quickly respond and fall some 4 to 6 millibars (.12 to .18 inches of mercury) in a short amount of time, roughly 5 to 20 minutes. This rapid fall in air pressure causes the winds to blow at a good rate. The larger the air pressure fall, the stronger the winds will blow. What makes this event so rare is that damaging winds between 45 and 60 mph occurred when they typically only produce 20 to 30 mph winds.

The strongest winds occurred along a corridor from Warren and Yazoo Counties east-northeast to Madison, Leake and Neshoba Counties where 45 to 60 mph sustained winds were widespread. These were not the only counties to be impacted however. Locations from Hinds, Copiah, Rankin, Simpson, Scott, Smith and Kemper were all impacted and received sustained winds between 40 and 50 mph. All these counties across central Mississippi had numerous trees blown down with many trees knocking down power lines and caused large power outages. Several trees fell on vehicles and homes causing more significant damage. One person was killed in northern Warren County when a tree fell on the mobile home and caused it to catch fire.

The house was around 1000 square feet and in liveable but not great condition. Based on reports from the spotter, winds were estimated at 70-78 knots (80-90 mph). A strong spring storm system moved from the central Plains into the Great Lakes region on 2 April 2006. A strong low level jet of 40-50 knots (46-58 mph) allowed thunderstorms to develop in the semi-moist atmosphere of the warm sector. These storms rapidly developed into a squall line that raced northeast across far northeast Missouri, southeast Iowa, and west central Illinois. The storms were prolific non-severe hail producers while at the same time producing severe hail. Eight tornadoes were produced across southeast Iowa and west central Illinois by this squall line. A second squall line developed along the occluded front in eastern Iowa and moved northeast into northwest Illinois producing some wind and hail damage.

Overall, the 5 month period December through April has been the driest such five month period since record-keeping began. The state-wide average is about 45 percent of normal precipitation with only a few areas such as Red River reporting above normal. Dismal snow pack and long periods with above normal temperatures has set the stage for an extended and dangerous spring and summer fire season and the eastern plains has already experienced large grass fires. Prospects are poor for enough spring runoff to offset seasonal increasing demand from irrigation cooperatives, so another heavy drawn down of reservoirs is likely.

NORTH DAKOTA, East Cass County Countywide 01 0000CST 1 0 1.3M Flood 19 2359CST The Red River at Fargo/Moorhead rose above flood stage around 1 AM CST on March 30th and remained above flood stage until around 7 PM CST on April 19th. The river peaked at roughly 37.18 feet around 2 AM CST on April 5th. Unofficially, 37.18 feet would be the fifth highest modern-day river stage recorded. The third highest modern-day river stage of 891.35 feet MSL (unofficial) was recorded on the Sheyenne River at Harwood on April 3rd and the seventh highest was recorded at the West Fargo Diversion on April 3rd. Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with over 40 roads around the county closed due to flooding. One lane of southbound Interstate 29 was closed south of Horace due to high water. Flooding was extensive along the Wild Rice River south of Fargo, where 75 homes were threatened from Oxbow up to the southern edge of Fargo. No permanent flood protection existed along the south side of Fargo, as alternatives were still being debated. At the Interstate 29 Oxbow exit, water surrounded all sides of the interstate. In Oxbow, river water moved a deck, which ruptured a gas line and started a fire. Firefighters were able to put out the fire before it caused much damage. West of Fargo, the most problems occurred near the confluence of the Maple and Sheyenne Rivers. Several homes in that area were completely surrounded by water. The Maple River Golf Course, along the Maple River, reported the most water they had ever seen. In the city of Fargo itself, the typical low spots were quickly flooded. These spots included Elm Street, the 12th Avenue North Red River toll bridge, and along 2nd Street downtown. A temporary clay dike was built along 2nd Street North to protect a portion of the downtown area, including city hall. Temporary clay dikes were also built to protect the Rose Creek clubhouse and a nearby church. High school and college students helped to sandbag, as many schools gave them the option of attending school or helping out. Classes at Oak Grove were cancelled April 6th and 7th. The body of a homeless man was also found in the Red River north of Main Avenue on April 7th. To the north of Fargo, water backed up around Harwood, covering Interstate 29. The Interstate did stay open with red cones marking the way, but drivers had to slow way down. The Red River bridge from Gardner (ND) to Perley (MN) was closed due to flooding. After the spring flood of 1997, many communities along the Red River looked at ways to mitigate flood effects. For the Fargo area, many homes were bought out in low-lying or flood-prone areas. Some sections of permanent dikes were built in portions of the city. Although built prior to the 1997 flood, the Sheyenne River Diversion around the city of West Fargo resulted in little impact to that city. Problems were mitigated in the Oak Grove area due to the construction of a flood wall. Cass County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

NORTH DAKOTA, East Grand Forks County Countywide 01 0000CST 1 0 887K Flood 22 2359CST The Red River at Grand Forks/East Grand Forks rose above flood stage around 4 PM CST on March 31st and remained above flood stage until around 6 PM CST on April 22nd. The river peaked at roughly 47.85 feet around 2 AM CST on April 6th. Unofficially, 47.85 feet would be the fifth highest modern-day river stage recorded. The Red Lake River crest actually arrived in the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks area prior to the Red River crest. Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with many roads around the county closed due to flooding. In the Minto area, U.S. Highway 81 was closed. The Red River bridge east of Thompson (ND) was closed due to flooding. In the city of Grand Forks, the Sorlie and the Point Red River bridges were also closed. This left the U.S. Highway 2 bridge as the only Red River crossing open in the county. Flooding problems occurred for about 50 homes at southeast edge of the city of Grand Forks, along Adams Drive and Lake Drive. A number of homes built close to the Red River were cutoff due to floodwaters, while others needed to be sandbagged. Also in Grand Forks, the permanent levee system (see below) was only about 85 percent complete. Therefore, some sections of temporary diking had to be done. Flood wall sections across Demers Avenue had to be installed. A 57 year-old Manvel woman drove into a flooded ditch at the Manvel Interstate 29 exit after work. After refusing assistance from a passing motorist, she attempted to walk home. She was later found drowned in a nearby flooded ditch. After the spring flood of 1997, many communities along the Red River looked at ways to mitigate flood effects. The permanent levee system constructed around Grand Forks got its first test and performed well. The English Coulee Diversion around the west and north sides of the city of Grand Forks also kept water out of the city as they were designed to do. Many low-lying or flood-prone neighborhoods close to the river were bought out and razed, which allowed the river to spread out into a wider channel through the city. Grand Forks County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

In summary, the total public and private flood losses experienced within the Red River of the North basin through late March and April 2006 were likely in excess of $20 million. This includes the following amounts. For Minnesota state and local infrastructure (this total includes the damages listed for each county), $8.5 million. For North Dakota state and local infrastructure (this total includes the damages listed for each county), $8 million. For Federal agencies (USACE, USGS, and USCG), $1.5 million. For the transportation industry costs due to traffic diversions caused by prolonged road and bridge closures, $1.5 million. For personal property losses due to floodwaters surrounding more than 500 individual farmsteads and rural homesteads, $1.0 million. F57IW Pembina County Countywide 01 0000CST 0 0 237K Flood 30 2359CST The Red River at Drayton rose above flood stage around 6 PM CST on April 3rd and remained above flood stage until around 1 PM CST on May 2nd. The river peaked at roughly 42.90 feet around 11 PM CST on April 10th. Unofficially, 42.90 feet would be the third highest modern-day river stage recorded. The Red River at Pembina rose above flood stage around 5 AM CST on April 5th and remained above flood stage until around 2 AM CST on May 3rd. The river peaked at roughly 51.45 feet around 8 PM CST on April 14th, unofficially the third highest modern-day river stage recorded. The Red River spread well out of it banks (8 miles wide in spots) from around Oslo (MN) northward, essentially becoming a lake. Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with many roads around the county closed due to flooding. U.S. Highway 81 had water on it between Glasston and Hamilton. Southern Manitoba's Highway 75 was shut down north of the Pembina border crossing, which resulted in detours for traffic. The Red River bridges at Drayton, Joliette, and Pembina were also closed during the flood. The city of Drayton had to build a temporary dike on Main Street, which closed a portion of State Highway 44. The Drayton Airport was also engulfed in water. In the city of Pembina, some temporary dike work and sandbagging also needed to be done. Problems also occurred along the Pembina River in the northern part of the county. In Walhalla, the city park was flooded. In Leroy, water came into town and several homes had to be sandbagged. A lot of flooding occurred around Neche, which was completely surrounded by water and inaccessible by road for a while. North of Neche, water covered State Highway 18 and the Canadians built a dike at the border crossing. Overland flooding also overtopped State Highway 18 south of Neche. The Neche bar was flooded in about 4 feet of water. Flooding continued to be quite extensive along the Canadian border from Neche to Pembina. The Governor authorized the National Guard to assist in the flood fight, providing assistance to Drayton and Pembina. The Guard troops were especially important to the flood fight in Neche, providing trucks and other equipment to haul sand and sandbags through roads covered in water. The Coast Guard also kept their airboats and helicopters in the area, providing assistance and support to stranded residents. Pembina County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

NORTH DAKOTA, East Ransom County Countywide 01 0000CST 0 0 113K Flood 07 2359CST Water tables remained high across Ransom County after substantial rainfall in 2005. Roughly 48 road and bridge sites were closed, especially in the southeast portion of the county. Ransom County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding. Richland County Countywide 01 0000CST 0 0 1.1M Flood 09 2359CST The Red River at Wahpeton/Breckenridge rose above flood stage around 2 AM CST on March 30th and remained above flood stage until around 8 PM CST on April 9th. The river peaked at roughly 15.95 feet around 3 AM CST on April 1st. Unofficially, 15.95 feet would be the sixth highest modern-day river stage recorded. The fifth highest modern-day river stage of 25.10 feet (unofficial) was recorded on the Wild Rice River at Abercrombie on April 2nd. Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding. At one point, approximately 35 bridges along the Wild Rice River and around 30 roads were closed due to flooding. Near Lidgerwood, overland flooding from a slough threatened a retirement center on the southwest edge of town. The Governor of North Dakota authorized the National Guard to assist in the construction of a 3 foot high temporary dike to hold off floodwaters. National Guard troops were also deployed to the Wahpeton area to assist in constructing/monitoring temporary dikes. The widening Wild Rice River in the Great Bend area surrounded several homes. At Dwight, the city lift station was sandbagged to protect it from the floodwaters. The Red River bridge from Abercrombie to Kent was also closed for a time. After the spring flood of 1997, many communities along the Red River looked at ways to mitigate flood effects. For Wahpeton, a higher permanent levee system was in the process of being constructed, which would protect the city to a level of 19.5 feet. A majority of the dike work had been completed, which helped minimize the effects of the 2006 spring flood. Richland County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

NORTH DAKOTA, East Traill County Countywide 01 0000CST 0 0 177K Flood 17 2359CST The Red River at Halstad (MN) rose above flood stage around 4 PM CST on March 31st and remained above flood stage until around 3 AM CST on April 17th. The river peakedat roughly 39.31 feet around 8 PM CST on April 6th. Unofficially, 39.31 feet would be the third highest modern-day river stage recorded. Overland flooding also occurred in addition to the river flooding, with over 60 roads around the county closed due to flooding. Red River bridges at Shelly (MN), Hendrum (MN), Nielsville (MN), and Climax (MN) were all closed. This left the State Highway 200 bridge as the only open Red River bridge between Fargo/Moorhead and Grand Forks/East Grand Forks. After the spring flood of 1997, many communities along the Red River looked at ways to mitigate flood effects. In the Hillsboro area, several homes were bought out in low-lying or flood-prone areas. Traill County received a Presidential Disaster Declaration for damages caused by spring flooding.

Severe (D2) drought conditions continued across the remainder of eastern Oklahoma throughout the month of April despite the beneficial rainfall that occurred during the month. Some of the heavier rainfall amounts for the month included 8.63 inches at Nowata OK, 7.96 inches at Muskogee OK, 7.82 inches at Bartlesville OK, 7.62 inches at Burbank OK, 7.55 inches at Wynona OK, 7.39 inches at Hominy OK, 7.38 inches at Pawhuska OK, and 7.16 inches at Jay OK. Normal precipitation for the month of April ranges from around 3.10 inches in Pawnee County to 4.70 inches in Latimer County.

Despite the much needed rainfall that occurred in April across eastern Oklahoma, major rainfall deficits continued over the long-term. Since November, the northeastern Oklahoma district had received only 62 percent of its normal average rainfall while the east central district had received 52 percent and the southeastern district had received 68 percent.

The rainfall that occurred in April resulted in most of the major reservoirs in eastern Oklahoma to be fully replenished by the end of the month. The only major reservoirs that remained near 75 percent of their normal pools were Eufaula, Tenkiller, and Beaver.

The drought conditions continued to cause an increased wildfire potential, especially during the first part of the month, with many wildfires occurring across the western half of Oklahoma. One of the worst days for wildfires for the month was on April 6, 2006 due to strong winds, warm temperatures, and dry conditions. A fire near Cement in Caddo county caused the evacuation of the town and burned at least 7 homes. Another fire near Newcastle in McLain county caused an evacuation of some residents and also burned 7 homes. This fire also caused the closure of portions of Interstate 44 and Highways 37 and 76 during rush hour. The roads were all back open by 2100 CST. Several fires also burned homes and structures in Kingfisher and Oklahoma counties, with several other fires burning many acres across the area. However, the largest fire on April 6th occurred in Roger Mills county where approximately 30,000-50,000 acres were scorched. This fire began just west of the Oklahoma-Texas state line in the Texas Panhandle. The strong west winds caused the fire to quickly spread east into Roger Mills county. The fire burned an area between about 4 miles south of Reydon to 6 miles north of Sweetwater to within about 5 miles or less of Cheyenne. Despite the size of the fire, only three vacant homes were destroyed, a few head of livestock were lost, and no injuries or deaths occurred. Firefighters from 45 different departments in Oklahoma and Texas along with fire fighting aircraft were used to fight this fire. Many of the wildfires that occurred on April 6 were believed to have been started by sparks from power lines blowing together in the strong winds.

The dry conditions and strong winds also caused blowing dust on April 6 that reduced visibilities across parts of western and central Oklahoma. In parts of western Oklahoma visibilities were reduced to less than a half a mile. These low visibilities also hampered firefighting activities on the large fire in Roger Mills county.

The drought conditions along with above normal temperatures (several days above 90 degrees) had also continued to impact other groups across the area. The persistent drought continued to cause problems for farmers and ranchers by causing farm ponds to dry up and available food for livestock to decrease. The decrease in water for livestock has led to programs to assist farmers and ranchers in building new wells. However, due to the low water and shortage in hay or pasture from the fires, some people have been forced to sell some or all of their herd. Being the month before the winter wheat harvest begins, farmers and agriculture professionals were predicting the worst wheat crop since 1957 in many areas. As of April many fields of crops had already been declared disasters. The agriculture community was not the only area feeling the affects of the drought. The recreation industry has been affected due to low lake levels with some piers or docks unusable. Some towns were also beginning to institute volunteer water rationing programs.

This tornado and an anti-cyclonic tornado that began a few minutes later (see tornado entry that began at 1830 CST) were on the ground simultaneously for several minutes. The first tornado traveled slowly, and mainly through open farm land. However, damage was found, during a storm survey, to a small grove of trees just southwest of the intersection of Elm Road and Chiles Road that occurred around 1830 CST. This was the only damage found, other than a possible path through the vegetation (grass/wheat) just to the west of the trees about 1/2 mile west of the road. A local farmer stated that the tornado also passed through some freshly dug up soil, just south of the Brad Baker household, just south of Interstate 40. This caused a slight jog to the south in the path before the tornado finally dissipated. Storm chasers stated that the main condensation funnel appeared to dissipate around 1832 CST, but a "dental floss" rope was seen as late as 1838 CST. Cotton County Devol 24 1827CST 0 0 Hail (1.25)

These two tornadoes were observed, by numerous storm chasers and 3 media helicopters, moving across the area simultaneously for several minutes before the initial tornado dissipated while the anti-cyclonic tornado continued. The anti-cyclonic tornado moved quickly to the east-southeast. The most significant tornado damage that occurred on April 24 was by the second tornado when it moved through the El Reno Regional Airport (KRQO) which is located southwest of town. A storm survey of the airport showed that the damage was confined to two large hanger buildings, one of which was brand new, that were constructed mainly from tin, sheet metal panel walls on rigid metal frame. The damage was confined to only the metal panel walls and metal seam roof, with no observed damage to the rigid metal frame. Some interior "walls" were damaged, but these were not part of the rigid load-bearing construction, and hanging from the rigid frame and not anchored to the foundation. Ten aircraft, some of which were vintage planes, were also damaged inside the hangars, with 5 planes declared a complete loss. In addition to the numerous videos, there was also some evidence of anti-cyclonic swirls in sprayed aircraft oil. The two structures were estimated at about $1 million. The damage to the airplanes were estimated from $35,000-$225,000 each for an estimated total loss of $500,000 to aircraft at the airport. The total damage to the El Reno Regional Airport was approximately $1.5 million.

PENNSYLVANIA, East PAZ060 Berks 03 1200EST 0 0 0 Wildfire During the afternoon of the 3rd, a resident in Douglass Township on Hill Road was burning brush when the fire spread to nearby brush. The ensuing fire scorched 3 acres before it was brought under control in 2 hours. The flames came within 100 to 200 yards of 5 homes, however no injuries were reported. PAZ054>055-062 Carbon - Monroe - Northampton 05 0015EST 0 0 Winter Weather 1000EST During the morning of the 5th, a potent upper-level disturbance moved across the region while a cold front at the surface was quickly zipping through from west to east. Both of these features combined with an unstable airmass and wind energy aloft to generate snow showers and squalls. These snow showers and squalls combined with wind gusts up to 30 mph to produce nasty travel conditions for a time.

The snow showers began across Carbon and Monroe Counties in Pennsylvania around 1:15 AM EDT on the 5th, then arrived in Northampton County in Pennsylvania around 7:00 AM EDT. The entire event came to a close around 11:00 AM EDT, but not before creating several problems. At least 80 accidents occurred in Northampton County, with many of them just fender-benders and cars and trucks that got stuck after sliding off slick roadways. Most of the accidents were north of the immediate Nazareth area. The northbound lanes of Route 33 above Route 512 were closed for about 90 minutes. Driving conditions in the southbound lanes of Route 33 were described as treacherous. The snow showers and squalls made driving on hills, particularly on Route 512, virtually impossible for a time. As a result, cars slid all over the place. Between 9:15 AM EDT and 11 AM EDT, roads became slick and dangerous, and the Bangor Area School District canceled afternoon kindergarten and Career Institute of Technology classes. The quick hitting snow showers and squalls closed many roads for a short time during the morning of the 5th so minor accidents could be cleared. One accident involved a car which slid off of Route 611 near Slateford (Northampton County) due to the slick road surface. No injuries and no serious accidents were reported around the region.

Some specific snowfall totals include; 6.0 inches in Albrightsville and Mount Pocono, 5.9 inches in Blakeslee, 4.0 inches in Tobyhanna and Pocono Summit, 3.4 inches in East Stroudsburg, 2.8 inches in Bangor, 2.5 inches in Lehighton, 2.0 inches in

TEXAS, South Central Hays County 6 SW San Marcos to 20 1555CST 0 1 100M Hail (4.25) 3 SW San Marcos 1620CST The team began the survey along IH-35 near Center Point Road. They noted widespread damage to trees and vegetation beginning near that point and continuing northward to the San Marcos Tanger Outlet Mall and Prime Time Outlet Mall. The damage was caused by a combination of large hail and winds gusting 40 to 50 mph. NWS NEXRAD Radar late Thursday afternoon had indicated severe thunderstorms in that area moving toward the northeast.

At the south end of the Malls, the parking lot surface was covered with dents and impressions produced by the wind and hail. Hundreds of vehicles had been damaged in this event but only a few remained in the area. Most of these had all of the window glass broken out with hundreds of hail dents in the car bodies. At this part of the Malls, damage to store signs was seen only on the north and west sides of buildings. There was no damage to signs on the south and east sides. Therefore, the storm winds had propelled the hail toward the southeast. In addition to the sign damage, hundreds of roof tiles had been broken and cracked, and many of these had fallen into the parking lot during the storm.

As the team drove northward through the Mall areas, the same type of damage to building signs and roofs as well as parking surfaces was seen. However, at the north end of the Malls, damage to the store signs was confined to the south and west walls of the buildings. In this part of the Malls, the damaging winds had propelled the hail toward the northeast.

Thus, the pattern of damage was fan-shaped, with the winds generally blowing the hail toward the west, but with a southeast component of motion on the south end of the Malls and a northeast component of motion on the north end of the Malls. This type of damage is clearly indicative of straight-line winds, also referred to as "downburst winds." One of the NWS staff members was at the Malls during the storm. Dents in his vehicle were 4.25 inches in diameter, indicating that at some of the hail stones were as large as grapefruits. He had estimated windspeeds to be between 60 and 70 mph.

The team drove roads in all directions from the Mall areas and concluded that the severe wind and hail had caused the worst damage in an area enclosed by Wonder World Drive, Posey Road, Hunter Road, and FM266 which is also known as Old Bastrop Highway. Other areas of large hail and damaging winds were reported to the NWS, but the level of damage was generally more isolated and less severe.

Damages from this storm were estimated at $100M with up to 10,000 vehicles damaged and another 7000 vehicles in homes in the area. Losses to businesses as a result of closing the following day were estimated at $500,000.

TEXAS, South Panhandle TXZ021>044 Parmer - Castro - Swisher - Briscoe - Hall - Childress - Bailey - Lamb - Hale - Floyd - Motley - Cottle - Cochran - Hockley - Lubbock - Crosby - Dickens - King - Yoakum - Terry - Lynn - Garza - Kent - Stonewall 01 0000CST 0 0 0 0 Drought 30 2359CST The drought that commenced over the south-central U.S. during the autumn of 2005 persisted over much of west Texas in April, but many locations across the west Texas South Plains region did experience some relief. During the first week of the month, D2 (severe) drought conditions, per the U.S. Drought Monitor, encompassed all of the South Plains region. By the end of April, conditions had improved notably with drought conditions downgraded to moderate (D1) over the higher terrain of the Caprock and the Llano Estacado. Severe drought (D2), however, continued over the rolling plains and the extreme southern Texas Panhandle. The gradual improvement in conditions resulted from the onset of spring-time convection and a few stratiform rain events that impacted the area during the second half of April.

The potential for wildfires remained of utmost concern through mid-month. Weather conditions during the first fifteen days of April brought two widespread outbreaks of dangerous wind-driven wildland fires, similar to those experienced over the Southern High Plains in January and March. Critical fire weather conditions, however, were dampened somewhat over west Texas by the end of the month as seasonal rains increased in frequency and as a modest green-up of vegetation commenced.

Most crops across the region were harvested before the onset of the drought in the autumn of 2005. Thus far, the duration of the intense short-term drought has been restricted to the cool non-growing season. With evidence of lessening drought conditions, it is possible that the drought's impact on agricultural interest may be relatively small. No significant agricultural losses have yet been directly attributed to the 2005 and 2006 winter drought.

Local authorities were forced to close a portion of Farm to Market Road 303 near Earth due to the fire and reduced visibilities from smoke. One home was destroyed in the blaze. No injuries were reported. April 6 High Wind and Wilfire Event Summary: A vigorous storm system ejected eastward from the Rocky Mountains and resulted in widespread strong to severe winds and blowing dust over much of west Texas. The winds additionally contributed to yet another regional outbreak of destructive wildfires over portions of the drought-stricken states of New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. Severe winds were common over the South Plains region with minor damage reported. At least six wildfires ignited in the winds across the South Plains and the extreme southern Texas Panhandle.

VIRGINIA, Southwest A line of severe thunderstorms progressed acrossed the area the evening of the 7th in association with a cold front. Numerous reports of both damaging winds around 60 to 75 mph downing trees and/or power lines and large hail were common with these storms as they moved through the region. Additional severe storms formed behind the main line of storms later in the evening across far southwest Virginia.

Some of the more notable hail and wind damage from the storms include the following.

Ping-pong ball size hail north of Clifton Forge. Half dollar size hail in Salem. Quarter size hail in Wytheville, Rural Retreat, Blacksburg, and Riner.

In Buchanan, trees were blown over onto 3 vehicles. One occupant of a vehicle sustained minor injuries when this occurred.

Lightning from one of the associated thunderstorms started a wildfire on Bull Mountain in central Patrick Co. Virginia. Due to dry insitu conditions, the fire grew to ultimately consume nearly 4000 forest acres of both state and private lands. Also destroyed were 3 homes, 6 structures, and a variety of personal property. There was a mandatory evacuation of 40 families with an additional 35 families recommended to evacuate, and many roads leading to the fire scene were closed by local officials. The fire prompted a declartion of a State of Emergency by the Governor for Patrick Co. Va.

The only injury was an indirectly related to the fire when a firefighter sprained an ankle.

Well south of a cold front, severe thunderstorms moved through the southern coal fields of West Virginia. The time frame was late on a Friday afternoon and into the early evening.

The initial severe weather was large hail. However, the storms following the initial cells, consolidated and organized into a squall line. On its leading edge, severe wind gust moved out of Pike County Kentucky and through Mingo County around 1630E. Trees fell and damaged a few homes. Several commercial and residential buildings in Williamson sustained damage from the wind alone. A large portion of the damage was to awnings, porches, siding, and roofs. Signs and poles were also damaged. Two women received injuries to their legs when the wooden pavilion near the river collapsed. Debris littered the downtown streets. The strong wind gust blew through eastern Logan County. Windows were blown out of 3 or 4 businesses in Man. In the Elk Creek region of Logan County, a woman was trapped on her bed in a mobile home. A tree had fallen into the house and laid across the bed. The railings of the hospital type bed helped prevent a more serious injury. In McDowell County, 3 mobile homes were damaged. In Wyoming County, a roof was damaged near Baileysville.

Brief and sudden wind gusts of 60 to 85 mph were likely on the leading edge of the squall line, with the speed dependent on exposure and channeling of the wind through the valleys and hollows. In the case of downtown Williamson, channeling of the wind between buildings also came into play. No tornadoes were confirmed or indicated by weather radar.

As this complex moved through Fayette and Raleigh Counties, large hail again occurred. Hail as big as golf balls fell around Beckley and Grandview. One major insurance company reported about 450 claims, mostly vehicular hail damage.

As the storms moved east they dropped quite a bit of penny to quarter size hail, before producing three microbursts in Calumet county that caused significant damage.

The most severe of three microbursts created a damage path from 4.5 miles southwest of Hilbert to 3.5 miles south of Hilbert. The straight-line winds associated with this microburst reached an estimated 95 to 100 mph, damaging or destroying three barns and numerous agricultural buildings. One of the destroyed barns was made of 12 inch by 12 inch timbers. This storm also damaged roofs and downed trees and power lines. Two large oak trees with no leaves were uprooted in the microburst area. Hail the size of half dollars was reported shortly after the strong winds moved through.

The second microburst resulted in a damage path from 3.5 miles south of Chilton to New Holstein. The winds associated with this microburst were estimated at nearly 70 mph. This storm damaged at least three barns, blowing the west end out of one of them and blowing a portion of a barn through a house. It also knocked a tree onto a house and downed other trees that caused damage to power lines. A park in New Holstein had several trees snapped off 6 feet or more above the ground.

The third microburst moved out of Fond du Lac county and into far southern Calumet county, about 4.3 miles south of New Holstein, with winds estimated at approximately 80 mph. This storm downed or damaged multiple barns, toppled trees, tore the roofs from garages, upended boats and campers and damaged a shed and a silo. WISCONSIN, Northwest

Wisconsin's most-costly hailstorm pummeled a large swath from around Mineral Point (Iowa Co.) to north of Milwaukee (Milwaukee Co.), while hurricane-force thunderstorm winds raked parts of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties. Here's what happened: scattered supercells developed in eastern Iowa during the late afternoon hours of April 13th and pushed east-northeastward through southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois during the evening. Three main hailstorms affected southern Wisconsin. The first hailstorm left a swath of hail and hail damage from southern Iowa County (around 1945CST), through central Dane County, through northern Jefferson County, through northern Waukesha County, to northern Milwaukee County by 2151CST. This storm produced mainly 1 to 4 inch diameter hail,

WISCONSIN, Southeast with a 4.25 inch hailstone reported by a State Trooper about 3 miles northwest of Lake Mills at 2055CST (larger hailstones of 4.5 to 5.7 inches in diameter have been reported in Wisconsin in previous years). A second hailstorm developed just south of the first storm and left a swath of hail and hail damage from northern Lafayette County (around 1956CST through northern Green County, through southeast Dane County., through central and southern Jefferson County, through central Waukesha County, to central Milwaukee County by 2210CST. This storm produced hailstones up to 1.5 inch in diameter. The third hailstorm developed in southern Dodge County around 2056CST, and pushed through southern Washington County into central Ozaukee County by 2139CST. This storm produced 1 to 2 inch diameter hail. Damage was widespread and extensive with the three hailstorms. Thousands of motor vehicles, residential homes, businesses, and farms sustained hail damage, but luckily, there were no reports of injuries or deaths. Vehicle damage consisted of broken windows and dented sheetmetal. Roofs, widows, and siding of buildings were damaged. Many water-birds were killed on several inland lakes. No crop losses were reported, given that the growing season had not started as of April 13th.

Based on partial insurance company information and some estimation, the April 13th hailstorms resulted in total damage amounts of about $158.55 million. This makes the April 13th episode the most costly hailstorm to affect Wisconsin. Collectively in 9 counties, at least 23,500 vehicle claims, at least 18,650 residential claims, and at least 2,515 business/farm claims were filed with various insurance companies through June 30, 2006. These claims translated to at least $49.8 million in vehicle damage, at least $96.8 million in residential home damage, and at least $11.95 million in business/farm damage (new claims were still being filed as of June 28, 2006, therefore, these numbers may ultimately increase by 5 to 10%). Insurance company numbers, as provided to the Milwaukee/Sullivan WFO (monetary value of claims and number of claims), were not broken down by county. Therefore, estimated county-by-county breakdowns were derived - based on area affected in each county by hailstones 1.0 inches or larger, county population density, and relative sizes of the 20 largest insurance companies in Wisconsin. The estimated county monetary losses are: $66.59 million in Dane County, $22.2 million in both Iowa and Waukesha County, $17.44 million in Jefferson County, $7.93 million in both Milwaukee and Washington County, $6.34 million in Ozaukee County, $4.73 million in Lafayette County, and $3.17 million in Dodge County. These county numbers were then broken down and appropriated to the largest of the individual hail reports within each county (see header strips above).

Last, but not least, a line of thunderstorms then pushed southeast out of Calumet and Manitowoc Counties through northeast Fond du Lac County and northern and eastern Sheboygan County between 2312CST and 2342CST. This line produced straight-line wind gusts up to an estimated 78 knots (90 mph) which caused extensive damage. Northeast Fond du Lac County was affected at 2315-2320CST, extending from 1.0 mile northwest of Marytown to 1.9 miles east southeast of Marytown. A dozen homes to sustain roof or siding damage, and on one farm a barn and a pole-shed were destroyed. Another farm had a barn and a garage destroyed and the nearby home was moved. Monetary damage amounts were estimated to be about $500,000 in Fond du Lac County. Sheboygan County was affected at 2325-2345CST, extending from Elkart Lake to 5 miles south of Sheboygan. In this area, 2 barns and 5 pole sheds were destroyed, trees and powerlines were pushed onto several cars, a roof was torn off of a home in the city of Plymouth, and a roof was torn off a garage in the Town of Plymouth. In addition, a cargo trailer in the city of Sheboygan was blown 60 to 70 feet and smashed into a building that housed several businesses. About 300 customers in the city of Plymouth were without power. The Sheboygan ASOS equipment at the Sheboygan airport northwest of the city of Sheboygan recorded a gust of 58 knots (67 mph). Monetary damage amounts were estimated to be about $400,000 in Sheboygan County. Synopically, a stationary front draped itself over southern Wisconsin during the afternoon and evening of April 13th. Temperatures climbed into the mid 70s across south-central and southeast Wisconsin during the afternoon. Moderate low-level instability, cold air aloft, and strong vertical wind-shear profiles with very steep lapse-rates caused storms to fire and produce giant hail. Dane County Middleton to 16 1200CST 0 0 Heavy Rain Stoughton 1400CST Dane County Verona 16 2201CST 0 0 Hail (0.88) 2206CST Roads and lawns were covered white. A cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms moved through Dane County, leaving behind hail stones pea-size to nickle-size, and some heavy rains that resulted in urban and small stream flooding. Rainfall amounts around an inch occurred in the Madison area and nearby communites within a one to two hour period early Sunday afternoon. Specifically, 0.75 inch was measured in Middleton, and 1.19 inches fell in Stoughton (WWTP). This resulted in water quickly flooding low spots on roads in the area from Middleton to Madison to Stoughton. Water depths reached vehicle floorboards, and some cars stalled. There were no major vehicle accidents, but some minor fender-benders were noted.

Storm Data Disclosure

Storm Data is an official publication of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) which documents the occurrence of storms and other significant weather phenomena having sufficient intensity to cause loss of life, injuries, significant property damage, and/or disruption to commerce. In addition, it is a partial record of other significant meteorological events, such as record maximum or minimum temperatures or precipitation that occurs in connection with another event.

Some of the information appearing in Storm Data may have been provided by or gathered from sources outside the National Weather Service (NWS), such as the media, law enforcement and/or other government agencies, private companies, individuals, etc. An effort is made to use the best available information, but because of time and resource constraints, information from these sources may be unverified by the NWS. Therefore, when using information from Storm Data, customers should be cautious as the NWS does not guarantee the accuracy or validity of the information. Further, when it is apparent information appearing in Storm Data originated from a source outside the National Weather Service (frequently credit is provided), Storm Data customers requiring additional information should contact that source directly. In most cases, NWS employees will not have the knowledge to respond to such requests. In cases of legal proceedings, under Department of Commerce regulations and/or rules of the court, NWS employees are not legally obligated to provide written or verbal testimony.

Fatality Codes: For events that include a fatality, there is a code containing the gender, age and fatality location at the end of the event narrative. 1st letter: Gender (M/F) – 2nd numbers: Age – 3rd letters Fatality location (see table below) Example: M51IW – Male, 51 years of age, fatality occurred In Water.

Other Notes:

An “Episode” is an entire storm system and can contain many different types of events.

An “Event” is an individual type of storm event.

When listing wind speed values under “Character of Storm”, ex. High Wind (G81), the G indicates a “Gust” which is a peak 5-second averaged wind speed in Knots (kts). 1 kt. = 1.152 mph. This number can be either E (estimated) by damage caused, or M (measured) by known calibrated anemometers. Ex. (M61) = measured 61 knots or E(75) = estimated at 75 knots.

All wind speeds listed are estimated by NWS personnel by the amount and type of damage unless otherwise noted with an “M” which represents an actual wind speed as measured by official NWS approved anemometer.

When listing hail size under “Character of Storm”, ex. Hail (2.25), the hail size is given in inches and hundredths of inches.

When listing property and crop damage, the figures indicated are the best guess made by the NWS from the available sources of information at the time of the printing.

The fatalities, injuries, and damage amounts appearing in tropical cyclone events are attributed only to wind damage experienced in the coastal counties/parishes listed. Other tropical cyclone related events such as tornadoes and flooding are listed within their separate event types.

440 The Saffir-Simpson Scale

Category One Hurricane:

Winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 kph). Storm surge generally 4-5 ft above normal. No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some damage to poorly constructed signs. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage.

Category Two Hurricane:

Winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 kph). Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal. Some roofing material,door,and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees blown down. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers.
