Johnston County · 3,448 Homes in County
Hail Report Description: Severe thunderstorms moved across southwestern and south-central Oklahoma during the afternoon and early evening, producing two tornados, damaging winds, large hail, and flash flooding. A second area of thunderstorms moved across northern Oklahoma during the afternoon and produced large and damaging hail. With the storms in southwest Oklahoma two tornados were reported. The first occurred in Tillman County where a small, brief F0 tornado (gustnado) spun up on the leading edge of a thunderstorm three miles southwest of Tipton. No damage was reported. The second tornado, an F1, occurred three miles east of Faxon in Comanche County around 1600 CST. Along a path about one-quarter mile long and 33 yards wide, two barns were destroyed, a propane tank was blown over, tops of trees were twisted and snapped, and power poles were downed. Also with these storms in southwest Oklahoma, baseball-size hail fell in Indiahoma in Comanche County, broke out car windows east of Duke in Jackson County, and broke out house windows three miles northeast of Tipton in Tillman County. Flash flooding also became a problem as water was reported up to car headlights in Comanche in Stephens County. As the storms moved eastward into south-central Oklahoma, thunderstorm winds increased and some damage was reported. A barn was destroyed by severe thunderstorm winds near Faxon in Comanche County, and wind speeds as high as 72 mph were reported south of Duncan in Stephens County. In Carter County five miles north of Lone Grove, winds destroyed three barns and a wellhouse and did slight damage to three houses. In northern Oklahoma wind-driven hail in severe thunderstorms caused both crop and property damage. Quarter- to half-dollar-size hail in Garfield County broke out house windows three miles south of Fairmont and five miles southeast of Garber. In Noble County six miles south of Billings house windows were broken out by golf ball-size hail. Many wheat fields in Garfield and Noble Counties were also destroyed.

Hail Report Description: Severe thunderstorms developed in northeast Oklahoma during the late afternoon and evening of April 16th. The storms produced large hail, damaging winds, and 1 tornado. The tornado touched down 1 mile east of Avant at 1650CST and was on the ground for 0.2 miles. 2 mobile homes were damaged by this 50 yard wide, F-0 tornado. Strong thunderstorm winds overturned and damaged a camper just southwest of Vinita, and a mobile home was also blown 5 feet off its foundation just southwest of Vinita. Strong thunderstorm winds blew part of the roof off a bus barn and caused damage to the south end of the bus barn at the corner of Osage Street and 2nd Street in Skiatook. Several trees and large tree limbs were also blown down in Skiatook. Strong thunderstorm winds downed trees 2 miles east of Oologah, and winds gusted to 65 miles an hour at Tall Chief Cove in Sperry. Half dollar size hail fell at Cleveland, and quarter size hail covered the ground 8 miles southwest of Bowring and at Osage. Dime to quarter size hail also fell at several other locations in northeast Oklahoma. Very heavy rainfall from the thunderstorms also resulted in flash flooding. Considerable street flooding occurred in Chelsea, and water entered some businesses on Main Street in Chelsea. Approximately 10 low-water bridges had to be closed in the Chelsea area due to high water. High water flooded roadways in Hominy, and considerable street flooding occurred in Cleveland and from just west of Skiatook into Skiatook.

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.

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.

Tornado Report Description: A tornado touched down briefly between one and two miles east of Gravois Mills near the 6.5 mile marker along the Gravois Arm of the Lake Of The Ozarks. A report made by an officer of the Missouri State Water Patrol indicated that the tornado turned over 20 boat docks and damaged or sank between 20 and 25 boats. At least one house was damaged and eyewitnesses said that trees were uprooted with some of the debris left floating on the water. The length and width of the tornado were estimated based on damage reports.

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 April 16, 1995?

Our records show 107 hail, 21 wind, and 5 tornado reports on April 16, 1995, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on April 16, 1995.

What was the largest hail reported on April 16, 1995?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records on April 16, 1995 is 3.25″, reported near Gladstone, MO.

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 April 16, 1995 — 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 April 16, 1995 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 April 16, 1995?

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 April 16, 1995 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.
