I am trying to track down some damage I suspect happened on a certain date. Does anyone know of anyone that keeps a list of severe weather warnings? (Possibly in a archive.) I checked NOAA and couldn't find anything there. Thanks.

This might fit the title of the post. A sign in Sweden. Very old. A rope attached at top end and with different wind, it tells what the weather is, depending on how near horizontal it would be in the wind.. Of course it was to joke about the neighboring country.

WARose:
Try your local TV weather guy/gal. Tell them how much you love watching their weather report each night. They probably know where to look, if they are any good at their trade. It seems to me that has been my tack of last resort, a few times, in the good old days, before we couldn’t find anything on the internet. Although, back in those days people actually answered their phones when you called too.
 
Probably not quite what you are looking for, but weather underground, allows you to view historic weather (temperatures, precipitation, and wind speed). But as far as I can tell you can only view 1 month at a time...you used to be able to punch in a time period and generate a report.
 
Environment Canada has historical weather data for a zillion weather stations on a website; I don't know if there is a comparable US site but I would expect so.
 
I don't know about the US, but in Canada, there are a lot of small 'weather watchers' that collect real meteorological data from their equipment. This info is passed on to the country weather office and is used by the government.

I've often sourced information from local 'weather stations' for data close to an investigation. They will have very accurate 'local' data about weather conditions at the point in time required.
