Local Weather History For April 27th...

1981: Extensive damage to vehicles and camper bodies occurred in Plains late this evening as a slow-moving thunderstorm
drifted east-northeast. Strong winds accompanied the hail that at times reached the size of golf balls. This same storm
later produced a cluster of funnels northeast of the city.
