Bellflower Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Thunderstorm winds blew down several large trees, numerous tree limbs and power lines. One tree was blown down across Highway 161 near intersection with Highway V.
The tornado touched down just east of Highway 19 on County Road 219. The tornado moved northeast to County Road 221, just south of County Road 226, where it struck a small farm causing extensive tree damage and minor damage to some of the outbuildings. The tornado continued northeast to County Road 226, just east of intersection with County Road 221 where it affected another farmstead. At this location, a metal machine shed lost most of the roofing with some of the tin blown approximately one half mile to the north-northeast. Also, a grain bin was partially caved in and there was more significant tree damage. On the next road north, County Road 227, a metal machine shed had the eastern portion of the roof partially caved in. There was also minor tree damage. On Highway V, approximately 2 miles east of Highway 161, another farm sustained damage. Three outbuildings were destroyed and a full grown oak tree was snapped at the base. Metal roofing was tossed northeast at least one half mile with a couple pieces wrapped around high tension power lines to the north of Highway V. This was the most intense damage along the tornado path and was rated high end EF-1. The tornado continued moving northeast causing minor tree damage along County Road 153 and finally dissipated in an open field west of County Road 141 about two miles northwest of Bellflower, MO. The maximum width of the tornado was 100 yards and the path length was 7 miles.
A tornado struck eastern Montgomery County causing damage at a farm and downing trees and power lines. The tornado first caused damage at a farm on Leonard Road which was also where the most extensive damage occurred. A large garage lost both doors and half of its roof. A grain trailer was overturned and 2 grain bins blown away, one to the northwest and the other about 1/2 mile to the east. The remainder of the damage path consisted of downed trees and crop damage.
