|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2021 | Tornado (EF0) | Carrollton | $25,000 | A National Weather Service damage survey found the second tornado of the event was spawn from the same supercell. The storm had continued moving northeast across large expanses of corn and bean fields as well as wooded areas. No additional damage could be found from the ground until just east of county road 500 E along 100 S where the second tornado began and brushed the corner of a wooded lot and home. This tornado was an EF0 with winds of 70 to 74 mph and a path length of 2.35 miles. The damage was primarily snapping of the tops of trees along its path. The first damage found included several trees that were snapped towards the top with large limbs broken and brought down to the northeast, but a few large limbs were convergent into the path of this tornado and pointing southeast. Marks on the ground indicated some of the larger limbs had been pulled southeast. This tornado again appeared to dissipate but quickly start again multiple times along its path. This is consistent with spotter and|eyewitness reports. Several points surveyed showed mainly tree damage and some minor shingle or siding damage to homes. This tornado ended just south of county road 100 N about halfway between 600 E and SR 18 in Carroll County. |
| August 2016 | Tornado (EF1) | Carrollton | $7,000 | This EF-1 tornado, with maximum wind speeds of 110 mph, caused several barns to sustain partial wall and roof damage. One garage slid off its foundation. Tree damage throughout the path. The path continued into northwest Howard County. |
