On this day in Iowa weather history...

1917: A destructive hail storm struck portions of Keokuk County damaging buildings and annihilating crops in a swath 2 to 4 miles wide from south of What Cheer to around Talleyrand. Complete crop destruction was reported within this swath and an observer wrote that "the hail stones were so large that they cut through wire window screens and in some cases broke the siding of houses. Very few window panes in the path of the storm remained unbroken. One hail stone measured 6 inches in circumference."
