|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2021 | Tornado (EF2) | Carthage | 1 killed, 3 hurt, $1,500,000 | An EF2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 125 mph touched down again from the same supercell thunderstorm that produced the tornado near and over Lake Murvaul in Southwest Panola County, with this tornado downing and uprooting about 10 hardwood and softwood trees along Highway 59 several miles south of Carthage. The tornado intensified as it tracked parallel to FM 2517 and ripped the roof off of a single family home. The tornado's damage path widened considerably as it moved between FM 2517 and County Road 405. Security footage from a local meat processing center in the Antioch community indicates that a multiple-vortex tornado developed as the storm continued and produced a wide swath of snapped trees north and south of FM 2517. ||Along County Road 405, the multiple-vortex tornado continued to completely destroy 3 metal outbuildings and shift another single family home off of its foundation. At this same location, the tornado tossed an antique vehicle 50 yards and wrapped sheet metal around approximately 10 trees. The tornado continued to snap large softwood trees along County Road 407, and as it crossed FM 699, it caused major roof damage to a brick home near the intersection of County Road 407 and County Road 408. A single-wide manufactured home utilizing a pan anchorage system was pulled free from the anchors and destroyed, with some of the debris blown a couple of hundred yards into a field to the east. ||Hundreds of trees were downed in an area along County Road 448. As the tornado crossed FM 31, a large outbuilding was destroyed, but portions of the wooden frame were anchored by bolts to the foundation and remained in place. In this same area, a large pine tree was uprooted and fell onto a single-wide manufactured home, killing a 46 year old woman with her husband suffering a head injury. Another tree fell onto a vehicle nearby and injured two additional people. The tornado continued northeast snapping and uprooting additional trees and it travelled north of FM 2517. It crossed County Road 470, County Road 471, and finally lifted just east of County Road 332. |
