Hail Report Description: A powerful tornado cut a short but devasting path in northern Manitowoc County from two and one-half miles northwest of Maribel to near Cooperstown. A second smaller tornado also developed two miles southwest of Cooperstown and carved out a minor damage path leveling a shed and tossing a grain box about 300 yards. Much of the $2.1 million damage inflicted by the first tornado included 26 homes, $906,000; 19 vehicles and one mobile home, $300,000; household contents, $245,000; three barns, $160,000; Wisconsin Public Service property, $50,000; crops, $304,800; and four heifers and two sheep killed, $3,600. One man was injured when he was struck by a 55 gallon drum, and a woman suffered minor injuries when pieces of a stone foundation fell on her. A severe thunderstorm dropped one inch diameter hail in Superior (Douglas County).

Hail Damage Risk for Your Home +

Hail reports describe hail by diameter, often comparing stone size to familiar objects like peas, quarters, golf balls, and softballs. Use this guide as a starting point for possible hail damage to your roof, siding, gutters, vents, windows, and exterior. Actual hail damage depends on hail hardness, density, wind speed, impact angle, roof age, shingle condition, roof pitch, roofing material, installation quality, and prior storm damage.

Pea

0.25″

Low

Usually too small to cause hail damage to most sound asphalt roofs, siding, or gutters.

Mothball

0.50″

Sub-Severe Watch

Below the NWS severe-hail threshold, but not always harmless. Repeated small hail can scuff surfaces, wear aging shingles, and loosen protective granules over time.

Penny

0.75″

Minor / Watch

Below the NWS severe-hail threshold, but roof hail damage is still possible on older, brittle, poorly installed, or previously damaged shingles. May also mark screens, vents, gutters, and soft metal.

Nickel

0.88″

Minor / Watch

Still below the severe-hail threshold, but large enough to leave visible marks on soft metal and add wear to older or hail-weakened roof shingles.

Quarter

1.00″

Watch

The NWS severe-hail threshold. Quarter-size hail can bruise shingles, dent soft metal, and create roof hail damage worth checking.

Half Dollar

1.25″

Watch

More likely to dent gutters, vents, flashing, and siding. Hail damage risk rises quickly on older roofs or hail-weakened shingles.

Ping Pong / Walnut

1.50″

Likely

Hail damage becomes more likely, including bruised shingles, granule loss, dented siding, and damaged roof vents.

Golf Ball

1.75″

Likely

Often causes roof hail damage, cracked shingles, dented gutters, damaged flashing, and siding impacts. A roof inspection is recommended.

Hen Egg

2.00″

Serious

Can crack or puncture shingles, expose mat, dent siding, and cause widespread hail damage across the roof and exterior.

Tennis Ball

2.50″

Serious

Can cause heavy roof hail damage, punctured siding, broken skylights, damaged vents, and widespread exterior damage.

Baseball

2.75″

Major

Major hail damage is likely, including severe roof impacts, damaged siding, broken windows, and possible major roof repairs.

Tea Cup / Large Apple

3.00″

Major

Can cause heavy hail damage across the roof, siding, gutters, windows, and exterior. Significant repairs are often needed.

Softball

4.00″

Extreme

Destructive hail damage. Can severely damage roofing materials, siding, windows, gutters, vents, vehicles, and exterior surfaces.

Grapefruit

4.50″

Extreme

Catastrophic hail damage risk for roofs, windows, vehicles, siding, gutters, and exterior surfaces.

Source: NOAA / National Weather Service hail size references are used for hail-size comparisons and the 1.00″ severe-hail threshold. Damage descriptions are general homeowner guidance, not official NOAA/NWS damage ratings. Sub-severe hail under 1.00″ is below the severe threshold, but that does not mean “no roof damage.” Penny- to nickel-size hail can still contribute to granule loss, cosmetic surface marks, and added wear, especially on older, brittle, poorly installed, or previously damaged roofs.

Emmet County · 3,795 Homes in County

Wind Report Description: Very unstable air moved over the central U.S. This moist and unstable air overran a surface frontal boundary extending from central Minnesota, through eastern South Dakota, into western Kansas. Convective available potential energy was nearly 5000 J-Kg-1, with lifted indices in the -8 to -10 range given surface dew point temperatures in the middle to upper 70s. Thunderstorms erupted over north central Nebraska into south central and southeast South Dakota. The storms quickly organized into a mesoscale convective system, which took on a bow echo configuration as it traversed northeast Nebraska. The principle feature with this event was high winds. There was little significant hail and rainfall did not become excessive since the entire system was moving east at 45 MPH. Sixty to 70 MPH winds raked parts of northeast Nebraska and southeast South Dakota. The winds crossed the Iowa border around the stroke of midnight on the 5th. Trees were downed and power cut off in several areas. Some of the stronger winds moved through Crawford County. The storms produced 65 MPH winds in Monona County before gaining strength. In Crawford County, winds around 80 MPH ripped windows out of houses, caused some structural damage to others, and tore several barn doors off south and west of the town of Charter Oak. Ida Grove, in Ida County, was also hard hit by the high winds. Trees were downed and damage was reported to several houses. County sheriff reports from the county indicate that tree and power line damage was extensive around the county. The winds caused damage to crops in their path as well. Though the crop was not destroyed, some yield loss was expected as many farmers reported the corn crop leaning. Spotty damage was reported in the Iowa Great Lakes region as 70 MPH winds swept through the resort area. The damage was not severe, but some campers were tipped over by the wind. Winds around 75 MPH swept into Sioux County as well. Significant damage was done to buildings on a farmstead near Hawarden. Other structural damage occurred in Boyden. Lightning struck a house in Le Mars. The strike caused a gas line fire, however the fire was quickly contained. The storms weakened rapidly during the early morning hours. WSR-88D radar in Des Moines indicated the outflow boundary had advanced nearly 50 miles ahead of the line of thunderstorms. Shortly after the outflow advanced so far ahead of the system, rapid weakening occurred.

Wind Damage Risk for Your Home +

Storm reports list thunderstorm wind gusts in mph. The NWS marks storms as severe at 58+ mph, but wind damage to your home depends on roof age, shingle condition, installation, exposure, nearby trees, and prior hail or wind damage.

Below Severe

Under 58 mph

Minor

Usually little damage to a sound roof, but loose shingles, flashing, or debris may shift.

Severe

58–74 mph

Watch

Can loosen shingles, lift flashing, break limbs, and damage gutters, siding, fences, or trim.

Damaging

75–90 mph

Serious

Can peel shingles, damage vents, tear siding, rip gutters, and expose weak roof areas.

Extreme

90+ mph

Major

Can cause major roof covering loss, tree damage, broken windows, and structural damage.

Source: NOAA / National Weather Service storm reports. Gusts may be measured or estimated; actual wind damage varies by roof condition, exposure, and prior hail or wind damage.

Crawford County · 8,620 Homes in County

Tornado Report Description: A tornado touched down in Beaver Creek Township just north of Seven-Mile Road, about 1.5 miles west of Military Road. It moved generally eastward, along the north side of Seven-Mile Road, doing widespread tree damage. At about the time the tornado crossed Military Road, it appears to have dissipated as another vortex from the same parent cloud formed just south of Seven-Mile Road. The newly strengthened tornado then continued its movement east, crossing the U.S. 27 expressway, damaging the roofs of three houses and blowing over numerous large trees before it lifted, just after crossing Interstate 75. In all, more than 1,000 trees were destroyed, and at least five residences suffered some degree of damage. The worst damage was done to a residence along South Grayling Road, where virtually all of the large oaks around the house were torn down, doing extensive roof damage estimated at around $8,000. The tornado stripped bare the roof of an old motel just west of Old U.S. 27 Highway.

Tornado Damage Risk for Your Home +

After a tornado, the National Weather Service assigns an EF rating from EF0 to EF5 based on surveyed damage. The rating estimates wind speed from what the tornado damaged, so actual damage can vary by construction quality, roof age, garage doors, windows, trees, debris, and how close the home was to the tornado path.

EF0

65–85 mph

Light

Can peel shingles, damage gutters or siding, break tree limbs, and toss loose outdoor items.

EF1

86–110 mph

Moderate

Can strip roof covering, damage exterior doors, break windows, snap trees, and cause heavier siding or gutter damage.

EF2

111–135 mph

Serious

Can tear off large sections of roofing, break or uproot trees, destroy weaker structures, and cause major exterior damage.

EF3–EF5

136+ mph

Severe

Can remove roofs and walls, destroy large portions of homes, toss vehicles, and cause severe to total destruction near the path.

Source: NOAA / National Weather Service. EF ratings are assigned after a post-storm damage survey and are based on observed damage, not a direct measurement at every home.

Frequently asked questions

for homeowners, buyers & sellers

How many storm reports were recorded on July 5, 1994?

Our records show 50 hail, 108 wind, and 6 tornado reports on July 5, 1994, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on July 5, 1994.

What was the largest hail reported on July 5, 1994?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records on July 5, 1994 is 2.75″, reported near Chilton, WI.

Some reports show UNK instead of a wind speed or tornado rating — what does that mean?

Wind reports come three ways: measured from an instrument, estimated from the damage observed, or UNK when no speed was recorded. Tornadoes show UNK until the National Weather Service finishes a damage survey and assigns an EF rating. UNK simply means that value was not available when the report was filed.

A report appeared near my home on July 5, 1994 — is my roof damaged?

Not necessarily. A storm report shows that hail, wind, or a tornado was observed nearby, not that any specific home was hit. To find out whether your property was affected, check an address-level hail report, and if it looks significant, ask a local pro about a Remote Hail Inspection before scheduling roof work.

I am buying or selling a home — how do these on July 5, 1994 reports help?

If a storm passed through, a roof or exterior may have damage that is hard to see, or a recent repair may trace back to it. Buyers can ask better questions before closing, and sellers can document the home condition up front — both starting from the property address rather than a whole region.

How do I check what happened at a specific address on July 5, 1994?

Use the address search to pull a free address-level hail report for any property — no phone number or email required. It shows recent hail activity for that address so you know whether a closer roof or exterior review makes sense.

Where does this storm report data come from, and what are its limits?

Storm reports on this page are public reports from storm events on July 5, 1994 across the United States, sourced from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. They show where hail, wind, or tornado activity was reported, but they do not confirm damage at any specific property. Report locations, sizes, and times may be approximate and can vary from what an individual home experienced. For property-specific hail history, use an address-level hail report or contact a participating local professional for a remote hail inspection. Pros inclusion is not an endorsement, and contacting a professional does not confirm damage at any property.
