EF1 tornado in Jasper County, Missouri

An EF-1 tornado that touched down 3 miles southwest of Galena tracked into Missouri at the intersection of SE Turkey Creek Road and North State Line Avenue. The tornado continued northeast through Carl Junction before lifting near the intersection of County Road 320 and H Highway in northern Jasper County. Multiple witnesses reported the tornado to be rain-wrapped as it impacted dozens of trees, with damage ranging from large limbs down to others being uprooted. Wind speeds associated with the uprooted trees were reduced as damages to nearby structures were largely limited to shingles and siding, and very wet grounds being a contributing factor.

A strong storm system moved through the area on Sunday April 20th, 2025. This system brought tornadoes, damaging wind, large hail and heavy rain. The heavy rainfall led to flooding as the area had already received heavy rainfall from storms earlier in the week. Multiple area rivers reached minor to moderate flood stage due to heavy runoff.
