April 24, 2010 Tornado Outbreak

Damage:

STORM DATA - A tornado touched down on Bible Hill Road, approximately 2 miles north-northwest of Parsons. The tornado traveled east-northeast for about 11 miles crossing the Tennessee River and continuing into Perry County, Tennessee. Significant tree damage occurred along the track, especially on Brodie's Landing Road. Although minor damage occurred to most structures hit directly from the tornado, significant property damage occurred from falling trees. In total, 15 homes sustained damage. Three of these homes were completely destroyed. Seven homes received major damage while five had minor damage. One business had a roof blown off while one barn was completely destroyed. The tornado entered Perry county near Simms Road along the eastern side of the Tennessee river. Damage continued northeastward...for a length of 13.8 miles and a maximum width of 300 yards. Hundreds of soft and hard wood trees were snapped or uprooted. There was some roof damage noted. The tornado entered Humphreys County just north of the intersection of Blue Creek and Crooked Creek Roads. Damage consisting of snapped and uprooted trees continued almost nine miles northeast crossing Interstate 40 just east of the Highway 13 exit. The last evidence of damage was along Barren Hollow Road just north of I-40.

SHAMBURGER (2024) - The severe degree of tree damage from this tornado on high resolution satellite imagery across Decatur County strongly suggests an EF2 rating is warranted for this tornado instead of the official rating of EF1, although the damage across Perry and Humphreys County was EF1. The path of this tornado was also adjusted based on the damage path on high resolution satellite imagery.

Damage:

STORM DATA - A tornado with max winds of 90 mph touched down southwest of the Aetna community along state highway 48. Damaged continued to the northeast along state highway 48 for a length of 2 miles and a maximum width of 100 yards. Hundreds of trees were uprooted and snapped with a couple of small sheds and trailer destroyed. Some minor roof damage was noted on a dozen homes.

SHAMBURGER (2024) - The official time of this tornado at 5:15 PM CST is incorrect and does not match up with radar data, and was corrected here. The tornado path was also adjusted slightly from official Storm Data records using high resolution satellite imagery.

Damage:

SHAMBURGER (2024) - This tornado, which is not in any official records or storm reports, was found using high resolution satellite imagery and a strong velocity couplet on OHX radar data. This small, weak tornado touched down west of Rock Bridge Road and moved northeast across rural, hilly terrain west of Bethpage. The tornado then crossed Red Tuttle Road and Mount Vernon Road before lifting east of Duffer Hollow Road. Several trees were snapped and uprooted in a strongly convergent pattern along the path, and one old barn suffered minor damage on Red Tuttle Road.

Damage:

STORM DATA - A tornado with max winds of 85 mph touched down at the intersection of state highway 52 and rocky mound road. Damaged continued to the north northeast for an approximately length of 1.5 miles and a maximum width of 50 yards. Multiple shallow rooted trees were uprooted with one small barn destroyed.

SHAMBURGER (2024) - The time and path of this tornado were adjusted slightly from official Storm Data records using radar data and high resolution satellite imagery.
