| April 2019 | Tornado (EF0) | Sugartree | $25,000 | A National Weather Service storm survey confirmed an EF-0 tornado. The tornado initially touched down in a field west of the river and uprooted and snapped/twisted numerous trees in a convergent manner as it proceeded to the northeast across the river and up a bluff. A vehicle and home at the bottom of the bluff sustained minor damage along with numerous trees. Several large oak and hickory trees in excess of two feet in diameter were snapped off or uprooted in a convergent pattern at the top of the bluff in front of a home overlooking the river. Some minor damage occurred to an expansive deck and retaining wall with some minor shingle damage to the home. The tornado then lifted and damaged several trees northeast of the home before dissipating. The maximum wind speeds were estimated at 85 mph. |
| May 2024 | Tornado (EF0) | Sugartree | $1,000 | This is a continuation of an EF-0 tornado that touched down in Pulaski County and tracked through far northwest Phelps County. As the tornado continued its northeastward track, it caused intermittent tree limb damage along the 0.48 miles of the Phelps County portion of the track before moving into Maries County. |
