| July 2010 | Tornado (EF0) | Stones Crossing | $2,250 | A weak tornado touched down in Johnson County in the vicinity of Tracy Road just east of State Road 135 or on the southwest side of Greenwood. Some roofing of sheds were damaged, tree limbs were downed, and small areas of crops were flattened by this brief tornado. This tornado was rated an EF0. This tornado was also referred to as a landspout, being formed as the result of thunderstorm wind outflow boundaries interacting with the thunderstorm. Landspouts often exhibit little or no rotation on the radar, as was the case here. Landspouts tend to be brief and weak and this was evident in the damage path. |
