This intense, large, multiple-vortex wedge tornado initially developed west of Marietta at 4:24 pm CDT. A tornado warning had been issued for this storm at 3:54 pm CDT and the storm had produced a brief EF0 tornado Clemons before this one developed.[2] Initially, the tornado was small and weak, producing only EF0 crop damage to farmland as it moved southeast and crossed 190th St. The tornado then turned due east, causing similar damage as it crossed Marsh Ave south of Marietta. The tornado then turned southeast again west of the Iowa River but began to grow in size as it paralleled the river northwest of Marshalltown. The tornado then reached EF1 intensity as it moved into forested areas east of Radio Tower Road. Extensive crop and tree damage occurred along this segment of the path. The tornado then began to rapidly strengthen and grow into a large wedge as it crossed Summit Street and turned due east into residential areas west of Marshalltown, producing widespread EF0-EF1 damage to numerous homes and trees. The tornado briefly reached EF2 intensity as it struck Tankersly Park. As the tornado entered the downtown area, a tornado emergency was issued for Marshalltown at 4:37 pm CDT. It was at this point that the tornado reached its peak intensity, producing widespread EF2-EF3 damage throughout the city. Most of the Marshalltown Veteran's Memorial Coliseum, a historic city sports venue, collapsed, and the Marshall County Courthouse had the top portion of its clock tower ripped off. The tornado then narrowed as it moved into the east side of the city but remained strong as it continued to inflict considerable damage to homes and businesses. It then struck a Lennox International plant, which had significant roof loss and collapse of multiple reinforced exterior walls, with many cars tossed and damaged in the parking lot. The tornado than rapidly weakened and dissipated shortly thereafter at 4:47 pm CDT.[3][4][5] Two years after this destructive tornado tore through Marshalltown, a derecho swept through the city, bringing straight line winds of 99 mph (159 km/h).[6]

A strong tornado caused severe damage in the town of Franklin, where numerous homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. Many well-built frame homes sustained major structural damage, some of which were left with only interior rooms standing. Mobile homes were completely destroyed, vehicles were thrown, pieces of lumber were impaled through the exterior walls of several structures, and many trees in town were snapped and denuded. One duplex, 55 homes, four businesses, and two churches were destroyed in Franklin. Elsewhere along the path, minor to moderate tree and structure damage occurred.
This tornado first formed just west of the Brazos River in Extreme Eastern Milam County, northwest of Hearne. The tornado moved east-northeastward, crossing SH 6 north of Hearne. EF1 damage was identified at one structure near this highway crossing, and considerable tree damage consistent with EF1 intensity tornadic winds were observed along the highway right of way. The tornado then proceeded east-northeastward to Franklin.
The most significant damage occurred in the city of Franklin. Within a two-block long corridor on the south side of Franklin, low–end EF3 damage occured at two residences. A number of additional structures on the south side of Franklin exhibited EF1 and EF2 intensity damage. The tornado continued from Franklin east-northeastward along US 79, crossing the Navasota River into Far Western Leon County. The path width of the tornado contracted to about 100–200 yd (91–183 m) over Eastern Robertson County, and damage was mainly EF0 in intensity, confined mainly to snapped tree trunks and large branches. The tornado dissipated in Extreme Western Leon County, south-southwest of Marquez.
At least 12 people were injured.

This massive, long-tracked, wedge tornado touched down in Siloam Springs just as the previous EF1 tornado was dissipating. Hangars at the Siloam Springs Airport were damaged, the roof was blown off a business, and several other businesses were damaged. Numerous homes in town were damaged as well. The tornado continued to the northeast of town, where well-built outbuildings were destroyed, a house had its roof torn off, and other homes were damaged and had windows blown out. The tornado then moved through Highfill, Cave Springs and Rogers before dissipating. Numerous homes and businesses were damaged along this segment of the path, and a large metal building sustained severe damage. Many trees and power poles were snapped throughout the path.
This tornado developed on the north side of Siloam Springs. It moved along the concurrent US 412 and AR 59, and then across the southern portion of the Siloam Springs Airport, as well as a housing subdivision east of the airport. The roof was blown off a business, many homes and businesses sustained roof damage, several hangars at the airport were damaged, numerous trees were uprooted, and power poles were snapped. The tornado became very large and moved east-northeast from the east side of Siloam Springs. The roof of a wood-framed permanent home was entirely removed, and a large, well-built, wood-framed outbuilding was destroyed on Andria Circle, which are the primary damage indicators that resulted in the EF2 rating. These structures were on a hill, and nearby hardwood trees were snapped, homes were damaged with windows blown out and roof structures lifted off the frame of the house and set back down. The tornado continued to move east-northeast across Highfill and Cave Springs, and into Rogers. Numerous homes were damaged, outbuildings were destroyed, many power poles were blown down, and numerous trees were uprooted. A metal building structure that was open-aired on the south side sustained severe damage. Businesses in the Pinnacle Hills area of Rogers were damaged. From Rogers, the tornado moved northeast, crossing inlets of Beaver Lake before dissipating.[8]

This large, long-tracked, strong tornado first touched down along CR 9 south of Bay Springs in Jasper County at 2:51 pm CST (22:51 UTC). It moved northeastward at low-end EF1 intensity, snapping numerous softwood trees and caused some minor peeling of tin off the roof of a home. It continued to snap softwood trees as it crossed over MS 15 and into the southern city limits of Bay Springs. The tornado then quickly intensified to its peak intensity of mid-range EF2 intensity as it reached CR 17. The Forestry Commission fire Tower was bent and blown over with the cement foundation being pulled several feet out of the ground and a nearby barn and trailer were destroyed. The roof of another barn was removed, a home suffered minor roof damage, and numerous softwood trees were snapped. The tornado then weakened slightly, but remained strong as it continued northeastward as it crossed over CR 5282 and CR 528. Minor roof damage was inflicted to chicken houses, while numerous softwood and hardwood trees were snapped or uprooted along with some snapped wooden power poles. Several cars were also damaged by falling trees. The tornado then continued northeastward away from Bay Springs at high0end EF1 intensity, snapping or uprooting numerous trees as it crossed County Roads 2339, 23411, and 23. It inflicted extensive structural and roof damage to 10 chicken houses along CR 279 before briefly reaching low-end EF2 intensity as it reached the intersection of County Roads 279 and 5286. A house had a significant portion of its roof removed and many trees were snapped. The tornado then turned east-northeastward, continuing to snap trees as it reached the intersection of County Roads 279 and 27, where some more chicken houses suffered some minor peeling of tin roofs.[11]
Tornado outbreak of January 12, 2023[edit]
Selma–Old Kingston–Griffin supercell[edit]
The supercell that would go on to produce the Selma, Old Kingston, and Griffin tornadoes was first identified as a small non-severe storm near Palmetto, Louisiana around 6 am CST (12 UTC) on January 12.[12] The storm moved steadily east-northeastward and crossed into southwestern Mississippi 30 minutes later, where it began to steadily organize as it passed near Woodville. The circulation within the mesocyclone briefly became strong as the supercell moved near Bassfield, but it, along with the supercell as a whole, weakened substantially shortly afterwards. No tornadoes touched down during that time, but some wind damage was reported. As the supercell approached the Mississippi-Alabama state line, it reorganized, becoming a severe thunderstorm as it moved into Alabama between Shubuta and Needham. The mesocyclone, while still broad, also began to increase in strength as the storm continued northeastward past Sweet Water and Catherine.[12]
As the storm passed near Orrville, the rotation tightened significantly, and it produced its first tornado just northeast of the small town at 12:04 p.m. CST (18:04 UTC). This tornado would rapidly intensify as it moved northeastward, reaching high-end EF2 strength as it struck Selma. Peak winds from the tornado reached 130 miles per hour (210 km/h) and two people were injured. The tornado then weakened and dissipated southeast of Burnsville at 12:31 p.m. CST (18:31 UTC) as the mesocyclone briefly broadened. After crossing into Autauga County, the circulation reorganized and produced another tornado near Independence at 12:40 p.m. CST (18:40 UTC); this tornado would rapidly intensify and strike the Old Kingston community at mid-range EF3 intensity. Numerous mobile homes in the small town were completely obliterated, vehicles were heavily damaged or destroyed, and hundreds of trees were snapped, uprooted, and debarked. Seven people were killed in this area. The tornado would remain on the ground for 82.31 miles (132.47 km).[12]
By the time the storm had crossed into Georgia, the QLCS behind it had caught up to it and caused the mesocyclone to broadened out and the circulation to weaken. However, the storm's energy was transferred southward and a new circulation formed southwest of LaGrange.[12]
Tornado outbreak of December 9–10, 2023[edit]
Clarksville, Tennessee / Allensville–Lickskillet, Kentucky[edit]
The tornado touched down approximately five miles (eight kilometres) south of Fort Campbell North, Kentucky in Montgomery County, Tennessee and moved northeast.[13][3] After initially causing minor EF0 tree damage, the tornado quickly intensified to high-end EF1 intensity, completely destroying the Clarksville School of Fine Arts, inflicting heavy roof damage to homes and a church, and snapping several large trees. The National Weather Service did not release a specific rating for the school’s damage, but noted that the tornado “destroyed a building next to a church”.[14][15][13][3] Further rapid intensification occurred, and the tornado reached EF2 intensity as it passed just north of SR 374 and through multiple neighborhoods in the northwestern city limits of Clarksville. Numerous poorly anchored homes in this area were shifted off their foundations and leveled, many other homes had their roofs partially to completely removed, and hundreds of trees were snapped. The tornado then further intensified to high-end EF2 intensity crested a hill and entered a heavily wooded area, where dozens of mobile and manufactured homes south of Britton Springs Road were completely obliterated with some being swept away with no debris left behind.[13][3] The tornado killed three people here, including a ten-year-old boy.[13][16][17] Additional homes suffered partial to total roof removal, another poorly anchored home was shifted off its foundations and leveled, and hundreds of trees were snapped.[13][3]
As it crossed US 41A in the community of Ringgold, the tornado briefly intensified to low-end EF3 strength winds of at least 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) and destroyed a strip mall with only interior walls left standing.[13] Vehicles in the strip mall parking lot were flipped over, several other business were also destroyed, a church lost its roof, and more trees were snapped.[3][13] The tornado slightly weakened, but remained strong at high-end EF2 intensity, flipping multiple 18-wheelers at a post office, inflicting significant roof and exterior wall damage to multiple well-built apartment townhouses, shifting and leveling more poorly anchored homes while inflicting severe roof and exterior damage to others, and snapping more trees.[13][3] Continuing northeastward, the tornado crossed a wooded area surrounding the Little West Fork Creek before strengthening to its peak intensity as it struck a subdivision just south of the West Creek High School.[13][3] Four two-story brick and vinyl homes in this subdivision were completely leveled, with debris from the homes scattered 200 yards (180 m) towards the northeast.[13][3] All homes received ratings of EF3, with winds estimated at 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).[18] The National Weather Service noted that at this time, the tornado was “very narrow and intense” and they also noted that the homes were partially screwed and anchor bolted to the foundation, with mostly nails being used as the foundation anchoring.[3] Other two-story homes in the area had their roofs partially or completely removed with exterior walls knocked down, including multiple homes that had its entire second floor removed, the nearby West Creek Elementary School sustained roof damage, and hundreds of trees were snapped as well.[13] The tornado then weakened slightly to low-end EF3 intensity as it crossed Peachers Mill Road, where it struck an apartment complex.[18] Two dozen brand new, two-story apartment buildings were severely damaged, with at least a dozen of them having their roofs entirely torn off. Winds in this area were estimated to be at 140 miles per hour (230 km/h).[13][3][18] As the tornado continued towards Tennessee-Kentucky border, it caused severe EF2 roof damage to dozens of homes in neighborhoods along Needmore Road and SR 236. leaving behind cycloidal ground scouring in fields between the two areas. The latter area also had several apartment or condo buildings sustaining high-end EF2 damage along with at least two dozen steel electrical poles being bent.[13][3] As the tornado crossed I-24 at the SR 48 exit, it uprooted numerous cedar trees and collapsed a portion of a warehouse. Northeast of the interstate, the tornado impacted several neighborhoods and subdivisions, producing widespread EF1 to EF2 damage to over 100 homes, many of which had roofs partially or totally removed along with some exterior wall collapse. Some additional tree damage also occurred before the tornado crossed into Kentucky[3] In all, the tornado struck at least 1,000 homes and dozens of businesses in the Clarksville, Tennessee area with at least 114 homes were destroyed and 268 others sustained major damage.[13]
The tornado then moved northeastward into Todd County, Kentucky, where damage was mainly confined hundreds of trees being snapped and uprooted while the tornado traveled through rural areas and over US 41 to the north of Guthrie at EF1 to EF2 intensity.[13] At least a dozen outbuildings were damaged or destroyed of the county, including a silo that was blown over and barns that were leveled, and homes suffered generally minor to moderate roof and garage door damage, although at least one home suffered severe roof and exterior damage.[13] Just before crossing into Logan County, the tornado crossed US 79 and moved through the southern part of Allensville at EF2 intensity. At least 51 structures were struck by the tornado with several outbuildings being destroyed, homes suffering moderate roof damage with some partial removal noted, and dozens of trees being snapped. Debris from the structures was blown into farm fields as the tornado continued into Logan County.[19][13][3] The tornado weakened to EF1 after crossing into the Logan County, damaging crops, trees, and outbuildings. It strengthened again to low-end EF2 intensity as it struck the community of Lickskillet, where every structure was damaged. A well-built two-story house in the town sustained extensive roof damage, had its foundation shifted, windows blown out, and three vehicles thrown and severely damaged. Two barns were also destroyed with the impalement of barn boards into the home noted.[3] The tornado then weakened back to EF1 strength as it moved further northeast, but continued to inflict severe roof damage to homes, damage or destroy outbuildings, and snap or uproot trees for several more miles. The tornado then struck the community of Williams Store along KY 96 at EF1 intensity, damaging multiple homes and outbuildings, including one home that had parts of its middle section blown out.[3] The tornado then continued moving northeastward at EF0-EF1 intensity, causing additional damage to homes and trees and damaging or destroying more outbuildings as it crossed US 431 and KY 100 south of Russellville. The tornado eventually lifted and dissipated southeast of the town.[3]
In total, the hour-long tornado killed three people and injured 62 others along its path of 43 miles (69 km) while reaching a maximum width of 600 yards (550 m).[20][21]
