Springfield Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A National Weather Service (NWS) storm survey team determined that an EF-1 tornado occurred near Springfield in Effingham County. The tornado began just north of Stillwell Road and east of Mock Road at Mose Mock Farms where the tops of several trees were sheared off, large branches were blown down, and a carport collapsed. The tornado then moved northwest, snapping and uprooting several trees along Mock Road and in a field near a powerline easement. The tornado then strengthened as it turned north and moved along Wood Duck Way. Multiple homes on Wood Duck Way and Riley Court suffered minor roof and siding damage, two boats on trailers were lifted and overturned, a carport collapsed, and numerous trees were uprooted or snapped. The tornado then continued northward, crossing Highway 119 where it snapped and uprooted a few trees and knocked down powerlines before dissipating in a field just north of the highway. A vehicle ran into a downed tree on Highway 119 and the driver sustained minor injuries. The maximum strength of the tornado was estimated to be EF-1, with peak winds of 105 mph, particularly in the area of Wood Duck Way and Riley Court.
