| April 2019 | Tornado (EF0) | Eagle City | $45,000 | The tornado first touched down on Fox Hollow Road in German Township, where a few large trees were knocked down or snapped, and several sections of fencing were blown down.||Damage was then observed at a mobile home park on Upper Valley Pike. Roof and awning damage was noted at several homes. One unoccupied home had its roof removed entirely, and the roof was found lofted over a stand of trees into a field about 150 feet to the north. Insulation from the home was also noted to be scattered in the trees high off the ground. Winds at this location were estimated to be as high as 70 MPH.||Further to the east, two semi trailers were blown over near an industrial facility on Baker Road. Just north of this facility, a large tree was uprooted.||Within the city limits of Springfield, one tree was snapped along US Route 68. A few soccer nets were blown over at the Eagle City Soccer Complex, and an outbuilding at the complex sustained minor damage. This was the last known location in which damage could be determined to be caused by the tornado. |
