Crop damage

The wider storm

A small, intense thunderstorm dropped very heavy rain and small hail over the town of Delta. The small hail clogged storm drains and prevented much of the heavy runoff from draining away. This led to minor street flooding throughout the town. The small hail also damaged several crops of pinto beans and stripped ears of corn from corn stalks, lowering corn yields an estimated 30 to 50 percent.
