Hail in Buena Vista County

NOAA storm records for Buena Vista County list 13 hail reports (the largest 1.75 inches across), 15 thunderstorm wind reports and 8 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.

Freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers work on seals from both directions, so cracked sealant, drafty sashes and foggy double-pane glass are common repairs.
