Two more tornadoes confirmed in Randolph and Chariton counties following Monday’s storms

The National Weather Service in Kansas City has confirmed two more tornadoes touched down on Monday morning in Randolph County.

A survey team was out earlier this week and found a 36 mile long path of damage after an EF-2 tornado touched down in Saline County and traveled through the southern tip of Chariton and into Howard County before lifting.

In nearby Chariton and Randolph counties, two more tornadoes were found to have caused damage on Monday morning, shortly after the longer track twister.

An EF-1 tornado touched down in eastern Chariton County near Rascal Flats Road 5 miles south of Salisbury at 7:11 a.m., damaging trees, outbuildings, and power poles. Two of those outbuildings were found to be collapsed.

As the tornado crossed Route 129, it caused damage to two homes, outbuildings, and trees. Substantial tree damage was found north of Yates between Moberly and Renick. A roof was lifted from a home on County Road 248 with trees downed in the area. Several areas of straight line winds were observed along the tornado path, as well.

The tornado packed winds of up to 105 mph along its 24.5 mile path, and lifted 4 miles northeast of Renick at 7:36 a.m.

Another tornado touched down 3 miles northeast of Higbee at 7:29 a.m. and traveled about 8.6 miles to 5 miles northeast of Clark in Randolph County before lifting at 7:37 a.m.

The tornado was rated EF-0 with winds of up to 80 mph. Meteorologists found tree damage and some roof damage to an outbuilding near Renick, and severe tree damage near Highway 63.

A total of four tornadoes were confirmed from Monday morning's round of severe storms in Mid-Missouri.
