|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2023 | Tornado (EF1) | Burdette | $70,000 | This tornado was captured on video along with reports from the emergency manage. High resolution satellite imagery also helped in determining the final path. This tornado developed shortly after the first tornado in Franklin county and moved mostly south for the duration of the path. The tornado did encounter a hog confinement building producing EF1 damage. Otherwise, the bulk of the path remained in rural cropland. |
| December 2021 | Tornado (EF1) | Burdette | $5,000 | This tornado moved into Franklin County from Hardin County. Much of the path through Franklin County was found using high resolution satellite imagery. However, the emergency manager did supply some damage points on the northeast end of the track to the northeast of Bradford, Iowa. The damage was to trees with tree trunks being snapped along several different roads. The tornado lifted a few miles west southwest of Geneva. |
