A large tree was reported down blocking the road on Missouri Highway 17 and K Highway.
The wider storm
A vigorous low-pressure system and cold front pushed through the Plains and the Ozarks, interacting with a warm, moist air mass as a strong upper-level trough and a veered wind profile created high wind shear and instability. This set the stage for supercellular development that evolved into bowing line segments. This setup brought destructive straight-line wind gusts of 60-70 mph, with isolated gusts reaching up to 75 mph. Hail up to 2 inches occurred and 5 tornadoes touched down in Benton and Morgan Counties.
Began near Faith (38.0300, -92.2900).
