| May 2024 | Tornado (EF2) | Eros | 3 killed | The Boone-Marion County tornado continued into Marion County from Boone County, paralleling just south of US Highway 62, near Pyatt.|Marion County EM reported three fatalities from this tornado.|Extensive tree damage was observed across several county roads,|and a few mobile homes were tossed and destroyed on Marion County|Road 4010. After crossing Marion County Road 4010, the tornado|path width increased to its widest point, and likely maintained a|maximum path width of around 2000 yards for a few miles, via|satellite imagery, as it moved through the Crooked Creek Valley.|Extensive tree damage was observed along and around Crooked|Creek, and moderate damage to the second level of a tin home was|found as well. The tornado kept moving northeast, snapping most|trees in its path as it crossed Crooked Creek multiple times and|eventually, Marion County Road 4006, where it moved over the Snow|Access Campground Area. The tornado then crossed US Highway|62 again near the small municipality of Snow, causing minor to|moderate damage to a few homes around the area. As the tornado|crossed US Highway 62, the path width began to decrease, and it|began moving more eastward. Mainly tree damage was observed to|the north of US Highway 62, and eventually it crossed State|Highway 125, and Marion County Road 3032, where more|extensive tree damage was observed, and another mobile home,|which was untethered, was lofted and completely destroyed. The|tornado continued to move east-northeast, causing mostly tree|damage, before eventually dissipating to the northwest of Summit.|This tornado tracked across two counties and was rated an EF3 with maximum estimated wind speeds|of up to 145 mph. |
