April 27, 2026 7:11 AM CT | UNK | 5 S Salisbury | MO | An EF-1 tornado touched down around 7:11 am on April 27 just south of Rascal Flats Road in Chariton County.

The tornado then crossed Route 129... damaging two residences and a couple of outbuildings as well as several more tree groves south of Hickory Road. The tornado continued east-southeastward to just north and east of Roanoke in Randolph County... damaging numerous trees along County Road 2405 as well as at least five power poles. The tornado then gradually moved eastward across County Road 2410... downing or uprooting several trees. Eventually... the tornado moved generally east-northeast from just north of Yates to between Moberly and Renick... producing substantial tree damage. On County Road 2480... a structure was damaged in whi |
April 27, 2026 7:29 AM CT | UNK | 3 ENE Higbee | MO | An EF-0 tornado developed between Higbee and Renick around 7:29 am on April 27. The tornado produced mostly tree damage as it tracked northeastward toward Renick. However... one outbuilding suffered roof damage possibly from a fallen tree. The most severe damage occurred in Renick... with numerous trees down along Business Route 63 between the railroad tracks and U.S. Highway 63. A grove of trees was severely damaged just to the north of the highway... with several other trees downed in this stretch. Minor property damage was also observed at several residences... mostly from fallen trees. The tornado tracked eastward along Route NN east of Renick... chopping tree groves in several spots before gradually weakening as it approached the Monroe County line. The National Weather Service in Kansas City would like to thank David Gaines for his help with this survey. |
April 27, 2026 7:43 AM CT | UNK | 6 S Madison | MO | A brief EF-1 tornado touched down in southwestern Monroe County near Route M and Highway 151. The primary damage caused by this tornado was a farm just south of Highway 151. Numerous large tree limbs were broken on the property with one tree limb pointed to the west. One farm building was collapsed on the western side of the barn. The eastern facing part of the building which was attached to the cement slab was still standing... while the western facing part of the building had completely collapsed. Due to this... we estimated slightly below the expected wind speed which also matched the surrounding tree damage. On the south side of the tornado... a rear inflow jet formed producing multiple straight-line wind damage reports. Damage was primarily across the southwest portion of Monroe County from Highway NN to just north of County Road 95. Damage was primarily to trees which were blown down facing easterly. However... damage did occur to two farms in which partial or near total collapses occ |
