Episode Narrative Very moist and unstable conditions developed over the Missouri Ozarks ahead of an intense low pressure system over the southern Plains. Widespread severe storms developed over Oklahoma and eastern Kansas during the early morning hours and tracked eastward into the Springfield county warning area during the afternoon and evening. Very heavy rainfall, hail to tennis ball size, damaging winds in excess of 70 mph and 27 tornadoes occurred with this system as storms tracked repeatedly over the region. Four injuries were reported as a result of severe storms. One injury was near Mountain Grove and three were in southeastern Greene County were an EF-2 Tornado tracked. The resulting rainfall led to widespread flash flooding, which continued into the morning of May 1st, on head water streams and low water crossings. One live was lost when a camper along Hunter Creek in Douglas County drowned as the campground flooded.
Event Narrative A National Weather Service storm survey confirmed an EF-0 tornado five miles northeast of Purdy which tracked northeast for five miles across northern Barry County before lifting just north of Highway Z. The tornado was on the ground for approximately 10 minutes with maximum wind speeds estimated at 85 mph. This tornado was spawned by the same supercell that caused the Wheaton, Missouri tornado. Distant damage to trees was noted in inaccessible areas west of State Highway BB before causing roof panels to be torn off six outbuildings along the highway, and then again to distant trees into Prairie Run Hollow. The damage to trees became convergent as it tracked into forested areas along Farm Road 2032 before resuming an intermittent path of tree damage along portions of FR 1140. The last evidence of damage was found northeast of Pleasant Ridge north of Highway Z.
