| May 2024 | Tornado (EF2) | Tanner | $90,000 | An EF-2 tornado began on the east side of Dexter, then shifted from east-northeasterly towards north-northeasterly on its trek across Stoddard County, crossing the Little River into Scott County. As the tornado approached Crowder, the tornado destroyed a newer, well-built barn. In Crowder, numerous trees were uprooted and lost large limbs. Just east of Vanduser, the tornado removed most of a newer metal roof from a house. The tornado finally veered more to the northeast, snapping tree limbs and overturning irrigation equipment before lifting just east of the community of Morley. Estimated peak winds for the Scott County portion of the tornado were 115 mph. |
| August 2001 | Tornado (F0) | Tanner | - | A funnel cloud persisted over southwestern Scott County for several minutes. The funnel cloud was not associated with well-developed thunderstorms. Law enforcement personnel reported there was a brief touchdown in open fields, with no known damage. |
