|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2007 | Tornado (EF1) | Woodland | 1 hurt, $100,000 | A tornado touched down half a mile east of the intersection of Highway F and CR 255, about one and a quarter miles east of Woodland. Several trees and large tree limbs were blown down at this location. The tornado traveled to the northeast, damaging a machine shed near the intersection of CR 279 and CR 264. It continued to move to the northeast and skipped over a tree line before moving into the southern part of Palmyra where it damaged the Consolidated Machine & Welding Company on US Highway 61. Three of the four large corrugated steel buildings were severely damaged. One semi trailer was lifted and dropped onto 2 other trailers at this location. It then damaged a church and structures around the church. Further northeast a trucking company sustained minor building damage. From this point it crossed US Highway 61, where it picked up a car that was traveling south on the highway and flipped it twice. Fortunately the driver was wearing her seatbelt and only sustained minor injuries. It then caused additional tree damage a quarter of a mile northeast of the highway before lifting and dissipating. |
