May 2022Tornado (EF1)Mountain View$40,000NWS storm survey found the path of an EF1 tornado that touched down near Old Kimbrell Road just north of Oak Grove Farm Rd, where numerous trees were downed. The tornado moved northeast knocking down multiple trees as it crossed Berry Rd, Parris Bridge Rd, and Sandy Ford Rd. The track was briefly lost in the remote bottoms of the Pacolet River northeast of Sandy Ford Rd, but was picked up again along Buck Creek Rd, where the most significant damage was observed. A large outbuilding lost much of its roof structure at this location. Other outbuildings saw less significant damage in this area. Tree damage continued northeast to Henderson Hill Rd and Revels Road where the tornado lifted.
