| March 2025 | Tornado (EF2) | Burbank | 1 killed, 1 hurt, $1,500,000 | An EF-2 tornado touched down northeast of Greenville and moved northeast doing profound and extreme tree damage along its path. Thousands of trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado directly impacted the River Valley Campground on Hidden Valley Road near the Castor River, killing one person and severely injuring another. The most severe structural damage occurred near the campground where a home lost its roof and had most of its exterior walls collapsed in. Several vehicles were tossed 50 to 100 feet. Another nearby home also suffered heavy damage. Numerous outbuildings were destroyed and a wooden power pole was snapped. The estimated peak wind was 134 mph. From the campground the tornado continued northeast and quickly entered Bollinger County where it did EF-3 damage. The total path length was 28.6 miles. |
