Event narrative: The tornado began just west of Interstate-75 before crossing through portions of Adel, GA in Cook County. The first significant structural damage consistent with EF2 intensity was done to a single-family home-style building on W Mitchell St between I-75 and N Elm St. Half of the structure was shifted off its slab and bolted foundation. Adjacent mini trailers were also flipped in addition to sheets of metal lofted about a hundred feet from the property. The second location of EF2 damage was off US-Highway 41 and South Ave near Carr Dr where a large metal structure building was shifted off its bolted foundation. Some steel beams were also ripped off with a couple lofted to a nearby residential area. Multiple large trees on the property had their trunks snapped, while others were uprooted. Numerous damaged/fallen trees, some uprooted, had snapped and twisted trunks in a residential  neighborhood along Kent Dr. Several of these trees fell on top of a few homes. The damages in that area were consistent with EF1 intensity. Continued tree damage was observed throughout the east side of the county along with a series of knocked over centerline irrigation pivots. The tornado then destroyed a motorhome and snapped several trees along Joiner Rd before lifting near the Cook County/Berrien County border.  Max winds were estimated at 115 mph.

Episode narrative: An upper-level shortwave trough moving east through the Central Plains initiated a few clusters of thunderstorms that spread into Mississippi during the morning of June 18th. With an unstable air mass and strong jet stream over the region, these storms became severe and produced hail and damaging wind through the morning. An additional round of severe storms developed during the evening of the 18th and into the morning of the 19th. This even resulted in a rare June tornado outbreak. The previous record for number of June tornadoes in the state of Mississippi was 7 in 1974. A total of 15 tornadoes occurred across the state from June 18-19, 2023 - making this event a record in its own right. The tornado which occurred near Louin, MS was the first F3 or EF-3 rated tornado in the state since 1957.

Episode narrative: An area of low pressure tracking northeastward across Iowa pushed a cold front into central Illinois during the afternoon of January 3rd.  The arimass ahead of the front became moderately unstable thanks to surface temperatures climbing into the lower to middle 60s and dewpoints hovering near 60 degrees.  Given the instability and increasing amounts of deep-layer wind shear in association with a strong upper low approaching from the west, scattered supercell thunderstorms developed along the front during the afternoon.  The storms were primarily focused in a corridor from Springfield and Taylorville northeastward to near Champaign.  A total of 8 short-lived weak tornadoes touched down within this corridor, with the strongest tornadoes producing EF-1 damage near Maroa and in the Decatur area.

Episode narrative: Unseasonably warm, moist, and unstable air was in place across eastern Oklahoma on January 2nd, ahead of an approaching cold front and strong upper level disturbance. Strong to severe thunderstorms developed into and across eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon and evening. The moderately unstable air combined with strong deep-layer and low-level wind shear resulted in the evolution of some of the thunderstorms into supercells. Several of these supercells produced tornadoes, along with large hail up to ping pong ball size and damaging wind gusts.

Event narrative: A tornado touched down in the Driftwood Estates subdivision of South Walton County between Riverbirch Loop and Cocobolo Drive. The tornado caused mainly roof damage as it crossed the subdivision. Homes suffered damage to roof coverings on Cocobolo Drive, and both ends of Pin Oak Loop. The tornado then apparently lifted briefly as it crossed a wooded area. A drone provided by South Walton Fire District could find no damage in the woods. The tornado then touched down on Red Bay Court where it snapped or damaged several small hardwood trees and did some minor roof damage. More substantial roof damage occurred to three homes on Loblolly Bay Drive and four homes on Driftwood Point Road. One sturdy palm tree was snapped at the intersection of Red Bay and Loblolly with four others partially uprooted on Driftwood Point Road. The tornado then lifted over Choctawhatchee Bay. Most of the roof damage in this community was consistent with EF-1 winds. However, three homes experienced the uplift and failure of large sections of the roof structures themselves. That is consistent with EF-2 damage with maximum winds of 115 mph.  Damage cost was estimated.

Tornado event in MCDUFFIE County, GEORGIA

End: 12-JAN-23 16:39:00
Direct deaths: 0
Event narrative: A National Weather Service survey team confirmed a tornado touched down in Warren County GA (see Storm Data, Georgia, North and Central) where it produced EF-1 damage.  The tornado continued moving to the NE and crossed into McDuffie County GA.  While in McDuffie Co, the tornado also produced EF-1 damage, with peak winds of 110 mph.  The tornado dissipated west of Thomson in western McDuffie Co. The total tornado path was 16.42 miles, with about 14.4 miles in Warren Co and 2.02 miles in McDuffie Co. 

Just prior to crossing into McDuffie Co, the tornado strengthened to EF-1 intensity as it approached Mesena Road and continued northeast across the county line to Foster Sprouse Road. In this area, a couple of homes had roof and fascia damage, a metal work shed and outdoor kitchen were destroyed, and a swath of large and healthy pine trees were snapped and uprooted. As the tornado crossed Foster Sprouse Road, it continued to snap and uproot trees, one of which fell on a house. The tornado then weakened as it crossed Union Church Road and dissipated before reaching West Bypass.
Episode narrative: A vigorous upper level trough traversed east through the Desert Southwest and into the Southern Rockies January 1st, before ejecting northeast across the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles into Western Kansas on the 2nd. In advance of this trough, rich low level moisture quickly spread northward from the Gulf of Mexico across East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas, along a strong southerly low level jet that developed ahead of a deepening surface low over Southeast Colorado and Western Kansas. With the trough taking on a more negative tilt as it ejected northeast across the Panhandle region, a dryline mixed east to the I-35 corridor of North-central Texas by early evening, and into East Texas and Eastern Oklahoma during the evening and overnight hours. Large scale forcing increased well ahead of the approaching upper trough across the expanding moist sector from the late morning through the afternoon and evening hours of the 2nd, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developing across portions of Deep East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas. Increasing instability due to diurnal heating within a strongly sheared and moist air mass resulted in the gradual development of strong to severe thunderstorms across these areas, with locally heavy rain falling over areas where the storms moved repeatedly over the same areas. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1-3 inches across much of North Louisiana, with isolated higher totals of 5-6+ inches observed Eastern Bienville, much of Jackson, Western Ouachita, and Eastern Union Parishes. This resulted in areas of flash flooding across portions of North Louisiana from the mid-afternoon through the early morning hours on the 3rd, with sporadic reports of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes across the region as well.
