| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2016 | Tornado (EF3) | Teterville | $100,000 | The tornado touched down in open country and then moved southeast. Towards the end of the tornadoes life, a home was hit and completely destroyed with all walls being compromised. The walls were not adequately secured to the foundation, therefore, a lower rating was provided. Otherwise, significant tree damage including snapped trunks were widespread along the river valley. A corn crop was also completely decimated. The odd track is due to this mesocyclone dissipating and a new one developing to the southeast and it became influenced by the airflow around the new circulation. This carousal affect also led to such a wide damage path near the end of its life. |
