| April 2024 | Tornado (EF4) | Marietta | 1 killed, 6 hurt, $150,000,000 | The Marietta-Lake Murray-Dickson tornado first produced damage near Peanut Road south of Indian Trails Road about two miles southwest of downtown Marietta. Trees and power poles were damaged near the beginning of the path and a house received some shingle damage. EF2 damage was observed as the tornado moved north-northeast and crossed Indian Trails Road where a home was unroofed and many trees were snapped.||As the tornado turned more northeast, it struck a Dollar Tree Distribution Center just west of Interstate 35 on the west side of Marietta causing significant roof and exterior wall damage to the facility. The company reported that the building and the inventory were not salvageable. A fatality occurred as the tornado crossed Interstate 35 just northeast of the distribution center and south of State Highway 32 as a southbound semi truck was overturned by the tornado. The driver was injured and the passenger was killed. ||Just east of Interstate 35 along State Highway 32, the tornado destroyed a Dollar General store and a Homeland Grocery Store. NWS surveyors in coordination with a wind engineer rated the destruction of these two buildings as EF4. In this area, the tornado also caused significant damage to a truck stop, hospital and nursing home. The tornado continued north-northeast through the northwestern sections of Marietta continuing to produce tree, roof and power pole damage although damage intensity was not as strong as near State Highway 32.||After moving out of Marietta, the tornado turned northeast again snapping numerous trees and damaging a barn as it approached Lake Murray. The tornado crossed the southeastern portion of Lake Murray near the dam. It severely damaged a mobile home, destroyed a barn and snapped more trees after crossing the lake. The tornado then moved into Carter County near Scott Road. |
