| August 2007 | Tornado (EF1) | Wyman | $150,000 | Surveys conducted by the NWS confirmed two main damage paths near the border of Home and Richland townships. These damage paths were located just north and south of Cutler road. ||The first damage path began about one mile west of the Cutler road and Vickeryville road intersection and extended northeast about one mile. The damge path was 100 to 200 yards wide. The vast majority of the damage was from straight line winds, but there was evidence of a very brief tornado touchdown in the damage path. ||Thousands of trees were uprooted or snapped off in the two damage paths. |This damage was consistent with EF-1 damage with maximum tornadic winds of 90 to 100 mph. |
