June 27
 * 1951 – One of the briefest violent tornadoes on record, an F4 tornado touched down in WaKeeney, Kansas, destroying 45 homes, killing five people, and injuring 100. The storm's path was less than a mile long.
 * 1955 – A complex tornado family passed near Scottsbluff, Nebraska, including an F4 tornado that killed two people and injured 29. The event was extensively photographed and was the subject of one of the most detailed tornado studies of the time. An attempt to estimated the wind speed of the F4 storm from makings on the ground failed because it had multiple vortices, a phenomenon that was not known until the 1970s.
