|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2011 | Tornado (EF3) | New Spadra | 1 killed, 4 hurt, $13,000,000 | This tornado moved through Clarksville, causing extensive damage at the country club and to businesses and residences on the south and east sides of town. Initially, the entire city of Clarksville was without electricity. About 70% of electric customers had power restored by the end of the day on the 25th, but the hardest-hit areas lacked power for a week. In Clarksville, the tornado took a similar path to that of a tornado which occurred on April 7, 1980. After leaving Clarksville, the tornado moved off to the northeast passing between Strawberry and Chronister Store. A 65 year-old man was killed in the area of the Strawberry community when the tornado destroyed a small house on a goat farm. Altogether, at least 150 residences in Johnson County were damaged or destroyed. The tornado continued moving to the northeast, moving into the Ozark National Forest. Many trees were blown down, blocking roads in the forest. The tornado exited Johnson County south-southeast of Dillen and entered Pope County south-southwest of Bertha. |
| October 2014 | Thunderstorm Wind | New Spadra | $10,000 | Trees were blown down and construction barrels were scattered on Arkansas 109 on the south side of Clarskville. |
