| January 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Rose Hill | - | The Garrett Bridge tornado began north of Arkansas Highway 54 along Arkansas Highway 54E. The tornado tracked northeastward where it damaged some chicken houses along Arkansas Highway 54E. The tornado then proceeded east-northeast along Arkansas Highway 54E causing roof damage to two homes. The tornado then tracked towards the northeast uprooting and snapping several trees before crossing Grangeway Road. Due to the lack of damage in this area, the tornado appears to have lifted near a barn just north of Grangeway Road. This tornado tracked through Lincoln County and has been given a rating of EF-1 with 95 mph estimated winds. |
