A tornado outbreak that started in Texas swept into central

In 1949 A hailstone five inches by five and a half inches in size,
and weighing four pounds, was measured at Troy NY.
In 1958 A tornado 300 yards in width skipped along a five mile path
near Frostproof FL. A 2500 gallon water tank was found one
mile from its original position (it is not known how much
water was in the tank at the time).
In 1987 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe
weather in the Southern Atlantic Coast Region. A tornado
