New Florence Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A weak tornado formed on the south outer road of Interstate 70 one mile southeast of New Florence. It caused damage to two buildings at a MODOT facility, including the removal of 12 garage doors. The tornado tossed these doors and roofing material into the power lines, causing one of the poles to snap. Some of the material landed across Interstate 70 at a residence on Highway WW. There was minor damage to the house with a garage door ruined and the porch pillars shifted off the foundation. Debris stretched into the adjacent field. The tornado continued northeast and caused roof and door damage to three barns on Hudson Road east of New Florence. The tornado continued northeast and ended shortly after destroying a barn on County Road 230, south of Manley Road. Overall, the tornado was rated EF0 with a path length of 3.98 miles. Maximum path width was 75 yards. No deaths or injuries were reported with this tornado.
Thunderstorm winds blew over two semis on Interstate 70 near New Florence. Also, numerous trees and several power lines were blown down on Highway 19 between Montgomery City and Interstate 70. No injuries were reported.
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 formed just south of Interstate 70 destroying several large power poles. The tornado moved east, crossing I-70 and damaging a barn about 75 yards north of the highway.
