| December 2021 | Tornado (EF2) | Monterey | - | A tornado developed in a field near 3rd road south of C road and quickly moved northeast to cause roof damage to large animal barns where a substantial amount of roofing tin were removed. The tornado proceeded across open fields before severely impacting a farm near 4th and E road. The farm place had a small shed blown approximately 100 yards. A second brand new larger shed was completely destroyed and a very large shed with equipment inside was also completely destroyed. There was minor roof and siding damage to the home and to another large shed, as well as some fences. The tornado proceeded northeast to another hog farm where it removed large sections of roof from two large barns. The debris were deposited well into a field downstream. The track was then intermittent for 1.5 miles as there were few if any available damage indicators in ag fields before it caused additional damage to 5 power poles and another animal barn where much of the barn was removed and blown into the nearby trees. The tornado appeared to dissipate at that point. |
