Weather History - May 23rd

May 23rd, 1989:

A complex of thunderstorms moved from southwest Minnesota through Iowa. One small tornado touched down briefly in Lyon County. But the main story with this complex was high winds and hail. Baseball-sized hail fell north of George in Lyon County. Also, two-inch hail occurred in Sac County in Schaller and Odebolt, and golf-ball-sized hail fell in Caroll, Iowa. The hail caused damage to vehicles, trees, and roofs. Thunderstorm winds of 60 miles an hour were also common across all of northwest Iowa with these storms.
