| February 2008 | Tornado (EF2) | Cotter | 1 killed, 35 hurt, $15,750,000 | The tornado moved from Marion County, north-northeast of Rea Valley, into Baxter County, just east-southeast of Cotter. A survey by the Red Cross indicated 21 houses were destroyed, 23 suffered major damage, 35 had minor damage, and 147 others were affected. In addition, 9 mobile homes were destroyed, 12 suffered major damage, 10 had minor damage, and 10 others were affected. One fatality occurred in a mobile home park. Most of the residential structures were in the area around Gassville. A number of businesses in Gassville, along U.S. Highway 62/412, were damaged. Numerous trees, power lines, and power poles were blown down. The tornado dissipated before reaching Mountain Home. |
| May 2024 | Tornado (EF3) | Buffalo | 1 killed, 17 hurt | The Briarcliff Tornado continued in Baxter County from Marion County and|moved through a small residential area along the White River,|pulling siding and shingles off houses in addition to causing|significant tree damage. The tornado continued eastward, further|expanding in width, and reached a maximum width of up to 1 mile|wide, crossing mostly rural areas and causing significant tree|damage, passing across Wild Hog Mountain, and crossing Shipps|Ferry Road and Round Rock Trail. As it approached the Arkana and|Norfork Village area, the path width contracted slightly, and|large swaths of trees were found uprooted and snapped as it|crossed the White River briefly once again north of Hwy 341 at|Riverside Dr. The tornado continued northeast towards Briarcliff,|where mostly tree damage was observed to the west of Highway 5.|As the tornado crossed the highway, widespread tree damage became|prevalent, with most trees snapped at their trunks. A few|structures were severely damaged, including a home, and a metal|shop building. The tornado also impacted a local RV/trailer|camping park, where five fifth-wheel recreation trailers were|tossed and completely destroyed. One fatality was reported out of|this area as well. The tornado also moved over a 350 kV|transmission line that intersected Hwy 5, snapping several wooden|two-poled line towers, and bending two steel two-poled line|towers to the ground, indicative of EF2 wind speeds. After|crossing Hwy 5, the tornado moved into the Briarcliff residential|area, encountering significant topography. 17 injuries were|reported within the Briarcliff community. The tornado path width|expanded again, reaching a width of up to 1 mile wide for a short|duration as it moved through Briarcliff. Significant tree damage|was observed over a large portion of the roads in the area, and|via satellite imagery. A few homes sustained moderate damage,|likely exacerbated by debris and projectiles. The Briarcliff City|Hall building, which sat on top of a hill on Scenic Drive,|sustained significant structural damage, with most of the second|level of the building destroyed, indicative of EF3 wind speeds of|up to 140 mph. The tornado then continued to move northeast,|moving over several hills on the east side of Briarcliff. A two-|story home located off of the Shoal Creek tributary sustained|significant roof damage with most of the structure pulled off to|the wall plates, and all the surrounding trees to the east|uprooted from the road to the waterline. The tornado then crossed|the lake, and struck a few peninsulas, where more significant|tree damage was observed. After crossing Norfork Lake, the|tornado continued northeast on the north side of the lake, moving|over mostly rural areas, eventually crossing over the Holiday|Hills Resort Area on Baxter County Road 149. A few buildings|sustained minor roof damage, and a smaller cabin building had the|roof structure pulled off with a few exterior walls collapsed.|Most trees around the resort were uprooted as well. The tornado|then kept moving northeast into Fulton County. |
