Meteorological Synopsis

edit

On April 29, a moderate risk for severe weather was issued for portions of eastern Kansas and southern Nebraska, including a 15% risk of tornadoes. Later that evening, several tornadoes, most of which were weak, struck the central Great Plains. This included an EF1 tornado near St. George, Kansas that caused roof damage to a house and an outbuilding, destroyed a windmill and a carport, flipped irrigation pivots, and snapped trees. Another EF1 tornado passed near Herington, damaging the roofs of homes, destroying silos and outbuildings, and snapping trees in the town of Parkerville before dissipating.A multiple-vortex EF1 tornado also destroyed barns and outbuildings near Rosalia, east of El Dorado, and caused minor damage within the town of Rosalia itself before dissipating.

Farther north, a few weak tornadoes also touched down in Nebraska, and severe storms impacted Iowa and Missouri as well, where reports of hail and damaging straight-line winds were received.[2][3] Farther south, a brief EF0 tornado struck near Fort Myers, Florida as well, causing minor roof, carport, and fence damage.[2][4] A few weak tornadoes touched down in Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas the next day, none of which exceeded EF0 intensity. This included an EF0 tornado that damaged or destroyed machine sheds and damaged a couple of houses near Perryville, Missouri. A total of 25 tornadoes were confirmed as a result of this outbreak.[5]
