| April 2011 | Tornado (EF0) | Outville | $60,000 | The tornado touched down in two locations within a mile. At the first location the damage included the removal of part of a roof of a larger metal sized garage. In addition, a supporting post was snapped, one side of the building was blown inward, and metal doors on the opposite side were blown outward. There was also a smaller garage with major damage to a metal door. About four to five large trees were uprooted in this area as well. The circulation was not on the ground for the entire path. At the second location where damage occurred, the tornado removed a large section of metal and wood roofing from a large barn. The debris was spread up to one-quarter of a mile downwind from the barn. In addition, there were three to four pieces of the barn debris impaled in the ground. A door was removed from a smaller storage shed and some damage occurred to one corner of a house where part of the roof was lifted up. The damage at these locations indicated wind speeds ranged from 75 to 80 miles per hour. |
