Events

June 6, 2006 - Thunderstorm Wind

During the overnight hours of June 6, 2006 destructive straight line winds hit the town of Turon. The winds were initially estimated at between 60 and 65 mph but a damage survey revealed that winds were much stronger and most likely in the 80 to 100 mph range. The severe winds destroyed 3 large, 57,000 bushel grain silos and severely damaged 3 smaller, 28,000 bushel grain silos at Turon Mill and Elevator. 1 small, 12,000 bushel grain bin was also damaged. One of the silos blew into a transformer. In addition to the transformer, one large transmission pole was knocked down and several small transmission poles were also downed knocking out power to the entire town. A 20' by 30' section of roof was blown off a bank building in Turon but the whole roof needed to be replaced. Numerous trees were damaged or completely destroyed and at least 3 to 4 houses had trees blown on to them causing roof damage. The Salina Journal, Hutchinson News and Turon Record contributed to this narrative.
