In 1921 A cloudburst near Pikes Peak CO killed 120 people.

Arkansas River, killing 70 persons. Fourteen inches of
rain was reported at Boggs Flat, where a hard surface
road through nearly level country was washed out to a
depth of seven feet.
In 1959 Thunderstorms in northwestern Kansas produced up to
eighteen inches of hail near Salden during the early
evening. Crops were completely destroyed, and total
damage from the storm was about half a million dollars.
Hail fell for a record eighty-five minutes. The temp-
erature dropped from near 80 degrees prior to the storm
