Storms near this property

2 since 2011

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names West Hartford, the town this property stands in, in 2 storm reports between 2011 and 2020: 2 tornado. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
April 2011Tornado (EF1)West Hartford$100,000A tornado destroyed a large barn and uprooted trees. Maximum estimated wind in the tornado based on this damage was about 95 mph.
May 2020Tornado (EFU)West Hartford-A brief tornado developed in heavily-wooded terrain in southern Sebastian County. The tornado produced a tornadic debris signature on the KSRX WSR-88D, which was likely the result of tree damage, given the fact it occurred in dense forest. The area where the tornado developed was inaccessible by road, therefore the tornado was rated EF-unknown, since the damage could not be reviewed by a survey team.
