| February 2012 | Tornado (EF2) | Jewett | 1 hurt | A tornado touched down on Madison County Road 437 (about half a mile north of intersection with Co. Road 424) at 255 am. At this location part of the roof of an abandoned house was blown off and several windows were blown out. Also, there was lots of tree damage in the area. The damage was rated EF1 in this location. The tornado continued to the east northeast. On Madison County Road 431, about a mile north of the intersection with Highway C, a home was completely blown apart and swept off the foundation. The debris was thrown in different directions. It was not bolted down into the concrete foundation, only nailed, so the EF rating given for this was EF2. All the hardwood trees next to the home were uprooted. The width of the damage path in this location was 200 yards. Further to the east additional tree damage was found on Madison County Road 411 near the intersection with Highway EE. As it travelled to the east northeast, the tornado approached U.S. Highway 67 near Zion. On the west side of U.S. Highway 67, about a third of a mile north of the intersection with Highway JJ, an abandoned single wide mobile home was rolled onto its roof. A bit further north of the mobile home, there was about a 100 yard wide swath of hardwoods that were uprooted on the west side of U.S. Highway 67. All of the damage in this area was rated EF1. Further to the east, about 1.6 miles west northwest of Marquand on Highway A, there was significant roof damage to a large well-constructed barn. There was some evidence of convergent flow in the tree damage nearby. A utility pole was bent over back to the south. Just to the east of the tree damage, about half the roof was lifted off of a business and numerous large oaks were uprooted in the area. Damage width was about 200 yards in this location with a rating of EF1. On Highway F, about two tenths of a mile north of the intersection with Highway A, a large swath of trees was uprooted, with additional sporadic tree damage along the rest of the path before crossing into Bollinger County (WFO Paducahs forecast area) about a mile and a half northeast of Marquand on the south side of Highway A at 320 am. The path length in Madison County was 21.54 miles with a max width of 200 yards and a max rating of EF2. Overall, the tornado was on the ground for 31.88 miles with a max width of 800 yards and a max rating of EF2. |
