Tornado and Wind Damage
May 13-14th 2009

Overview:

A slow moving line of severe thunderstorms brought damaging winds and tornadoes to Missouri and Illinois. Damage survey teams are in the field and updated information will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

Bismarck (St. Francois County, Missouri)
Most of the damage in Bismarck, Missouri was caused by one small tornado. The survey of damage indicated a brief tornado touched down near Highway BB and Cherry Street, then moved eastward to the northeast edge of town along School Drive. Most of the damage was to trees, with minor roof dmage also common. More substantial damage was done to a preschool building along Campus Drive, with the gabled roof torn completely from the well constructed masonry building and thrown into the adjacent parking lot. Damage patterns showed reliable indications of rotation. The path length was approximately 1 mile long and 200 yards wide. The severity of roof damage to the preschool building warrents an intensity ranking of EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
