| Episode Narrative | A line of strong to severe storms developed ahead of the front, with the most robust storms closest to the Missouri border after 500 pm CST. One storm in particular went from southeast Boone County into southern Marion County and northwest Baxter County. The storm had strong rotation at times and it headed quickly to the northeast at 40 to 50 mph. There was plenty of chaos in the path of the storm, and no doubt that one or more tornadoes were in play. A house was damaged east of Everton (Boone County), and power lines were downed. Between Pyatt and Bruno (both in Marion County), several homes were damaged or destroyed with an injury reported. A school was also affected. A tree fell through a house west of Mountain Home (Baxter County). In the end, two tornadoes (rated EF1/EF2) were spawned in a three county area. Three more weak tornadoes (all rated EF1) were confirmed with separate storms from five miles north of Hector (Pope County) to six miles west-southwest of Rupert (Van Buren County), and from four miles northeast of Evening Shade to four miles north of Poughkeepsie (both in Sharp County). These tornadoes toppled trees and hit a couple of barns and outbuildings. This event did not feature a lot of rain, and there was only 0.01 inch measured at Little Rock (Pulaski County) on the 19th. But, this was enough to make it eleven consecutive days with measurable precipitation. It was one day away from tying the all-time record of twelve days in a row. A trace of rain on the 20th ended the streak. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado first hit on a ridgeline around 1500 feet near Napier Hollow where it downed a few trees. The tornado crossed Napier Hollow and moved back up a ridge to Dabney Road, a tree was blown onto a barn, and another smaller tree was blown onto a travel trailer. The tornado crossed Dabney Road and moved through a field and down the ridge. On Darrell Road, a storage shed was destroyed, and the roof was blown into some trees which were subsequently uprooted. The roof of a storage barn was damaged. |
