| October 2004 | Tornado (F2) | Goreville | 2 hurt, $500,000 | The tornado turned east-southeast from Williamson County back into Johnson County.

One of the mobile homes was swept clean off its foundation. The demolished home was deposited 50 to 100 yards away. The 32-year-old male occupant of the mobile home, who was ejected from the home, received numerous bruises and cuts. A female resident of another mobile home was injured. In total, three mobile homes were destroyed, and dozens of mobile homes, barns, and sheds were damaged. Rescue efforts were hampered by a large amount of tree debris on roads. Peak winds in the Lake of Egypt neighborhood were estimated near 120 MPH. The tornado lifted as it reached the southeast side of the Lake of Egypt. The parent thunderstorm produced another tornado in northern Johnson County only a few miles beyond where this tornado lifted. |
| April 2002 | Tornado (F2) | Vienna | 2 hurt, $100,000 | This tornado was produced by the same supercell thunderstorm that spawned a long-track tornado over southern Union and southwest Johnson Counties. This tornado touched down along U.S. Highway 45, about 3 miles south of Vienna. The tornado moved east across Interstate 24, and then dissipated about 1.5 miles east of the interstate near Ganntown.

| May 2024 | Tornado (EF3) | Goreville | 1 hurt, $750,000 | An EF-3 tornado began north of Goreville, IL, where a security camera at a house on Newton Lane captured the tornado's formation. Crossing I-57, the tornado snapped large tree limbs and damaged an outbuilding on Pulley's Mill Ln. The tornado was again filmed crossing I-24 northeast of Goreville. Along IL-37, the tornado did roof damage to two homes and snapped a few wooden power poles. Nearby trees suffered extreme damage, with debarking noted on a few trees near the intersection of IL-37 and Orchared Ln, along with numerous large trees snapped. To the east on Orchard Ln, a home suffered a direct hit by the tornado, with the roof being removed and most of the exterior walls collapsed. A nearby outbuilding was also destroyed, along with several large snapped trees. As the tornado approached the Eagle Point Bay subdivision on Lake of Egypt, it snapped several large trees and wooden electrical poles on Deaton Rd and Greentree Dr. Two manufactured homes were severely damaged or destroyed. One resident here suffered broken bone injuries. Another house had its roof uplifted slightly and was slightly moved off its foundation. Continuing east-southeast into the Eagle Point Bay subdivision, the tornado weakened then dissipated, doing mainly tree damage and minor roof damage to homes along and near John Able Dr and Thunderhead Dr. Peak winds with this tornado were estimated at 150 mph. |
| April 1998 | Tornado (F1) | Cypress | 1 hurt, $60,000 | A short-lived tornado began along the Union County line, just southwest of Cypress, and tracked east along a rural road before dissipating at State Route 37.

Another house had a portion of its roof lifted up and placed back down again. A bedroom in the house was damaged. In addition, very minor damage occurred to a greenhouse, an abandoned house, and a couple of mobile homes. Trees, power lines, and power poles were down along the path of the tornado. Large trees, two feet in diameter, were blown down in between two mobile homes. Along Route 37, six power poles were snapped off about two feet above the ground. A female motorist was injured when her moving vehicle was struck by a falling tree. She was treated and released from a local hospital for minor injuries. Just north of Cypress, several large trees were down, but this damage was likely due to straight-line thunderstorm winds. |
