community were killed or injured by the tornado.
In 1987 Thunderstorms spawned 15 tornadoes in West Texas. One
thunderstorm spawned a powerful tornado near Gruver TX,
along with golf ball size hail and 75 mph winds. A man

In 1989 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a strong cold front
produced severe weather from Oklahoma to Ohio through the

Hail three and a half inches in diameter was reported at
Dittmer MO, and thunderstorm winds gusting to 90 mph

and Missouri, and there were three dozen reports of large

nearly one hundred persons had to be rescued from water
as much as twenty feet deep. The floodwaters swept away
a number of vehicles, some were carried as much as four
