Atkinson Power Outages Caused by Weather

Events

April 4, 2023 - Tornado

A localized rear flank downdraft (RFD) surge on the south side of a broader high precipitation(HP) supercell RFD caused a tornado to form. The EF2 tornado with 115 MPH winds began just east of Geneseo. The path had sporadic damage and based on eye-witness reports it was a multiple vortex tornado. Different suction vortices caused damage to farm buildings, trees, silos and houses along its 2.8 mile long path. Many trees were uprooted or snapped in different directions. Most houses had uplift of shingles. Towards the end of the path, the tornado strengthened just before it occluded. EF2 damage was found here as a power pole was snapped, 4 farm outbuildings were destroyed and the roof on the house was lifted then put back down on the house. Many thanks to Henry County OEM for helping with the survey.
