| June 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Mulberry | $300,000 | An EF-1 tornado touched down 1.5 miles south of the Red River near the intersection of FM 1753 and County Road 101, or about 3.8 miles west of Ravenna, then moved southeast before lifting around 2.5 miles south of Ravenna. The tornado initially caused minor damage to trees and a home along FM 1753. As it moved southeast across CR 1300, the tornado intensified and caused more widespread tree damage, heavily damaged a barn, and caused minor exterior damage to two homes. CR 1300 was blocked for 2 days due to the downed trees. The tornado reached its peak intensity of 105 mph and max width of 300 yards as it crossed CR 1305, completely destroying a mobile home, heavily damaging another mobile home and a large barn, causing minor damage to two other homes, and snapping and uprooting dozens of trees. A horse trailer was also lifted and blown across the roadway. The tornado continued southeast through rural inaccessible forests before dissipating. Sentinel satellite imagery helped determine the latter half of the tornado track. |
