Weather History - June 6th
June 6th, 1895:
An estimated F2 tornado moved northeast from 6 miles west of Summit, passing 3 miles northwest of Summit. Buildings on eight farms were damaged.
June 6-7th, 1897:
Light to heavy frost, and in some localities, killing frost occurred on the 6th and 7th. These cold temperatures, late season frost in May, and wet conditions hampered the planting season. Luckily, growing conditions changed toward the middle and end of the month. Some low temperatures on the 6th include 26 degrees in Castlewood and Watertown, 29 in Mellette, 30 in Aberdeen and Milbank, and 32 in Highmore. Some low temperatures on the 7th include 24 degrees in Castlewood, 25 in Watertown, and 30 in Milbank.
June 6th, 1999:
Heavy rains of 2 to 4 inches caused flash flooding on a creek feeding into the Grand River. At a ranch southwest of Bullhead, a bunkhouse wall was moved off the foundation by a wall of water coming down the creek. A machine shop was washed away with several equipment and many tools. Some tools and equipment were found more than a mile down the creek. A pump house and a grain bin were also destroyed. A pickup was washed down the stream, and a propane tank near home was rolled over. A colt was picked up by the water but managed to escape. The powerful water flow took out several dead trees and washed them downstream. Finally, the flash flood washed out a road and a culvert.
