Farwell Power Outages Caused by Weather

Events

August 16, 2018 - Hail

The combination of hail up to the size of golf balls and wind gusts of 60-75 MPH resulted in damage across central/southern Howard County. Most of the hail reports were dime to quarter size, with one report of golf ball hail north of Dannebrog, but a common theme was the copious amounts of hail. In a few spots, hail drifts were ankle-knee high. There were many reports of significant crop damage extending from around Farwell southeastward into the St. Paul and St. Libory areas. One spotter reported at least 1000 acres were destroyed just in their local area, with corn knocked down to just knee-high. Several irrigation pivots were tipped over, large tree limbs downed, and grain bins damaged, including one east-southeast of Farwell that was blown off its foundation. Emergency management reported that at least 12 power poles were damaged or snapped. At a residence 2 miles east-southeast of Farwell, a carport was destroyed and a barn door was ripped off (in addition to tree damage).
