| 01:24Z | EF2 | KEAX | MO | Clay | Smithville | On the evening of March 6, a supercell ahead of a squall line produced a strong tornado that impacted the city of Smithville near Smithville Lake. The tornado formed just west of HWY 169 and did some minor damage to a neighborhood just east of HWY 169. More significant damage was done to a neighborhood along Route W, just east of HWY 169 before the tornado crossed Smithville Lake into Clinton County. At this neighborhood near the intersection of HWY 169 and Route W several houses were completely destroyed with roofs gone, but most external and interior walls still standing. There were also a couple residences that had compete failure of the structure as wind entered through garage doors and uplifted the entire house off the foundation. EF-2 rating was obtained mainly due to lack of structural failure of a majority of the residences. The house that was lifted off the foundation appeared to be a sliding house with winds entering in through a garage door. Surrounding residences had major damage, but not complete failure of structure. Despite the widespread damage from this tornado there were no injuries reported. This tornado crossed Route W and started across Smithville Lake, where it crossed into Clinton County. |

The worst of the damage occurred just east of Smithville lake where numerous structures were completely destroyed, but like on the west side of the lake the worst of the damage seemed to occur where garage doors became a point of entry for 100+ mph winds and lifted the entire structure off of its foundation. The tornado continued across the rural portions of Clinton County, remaining at least EF-2 until it approached Lathrop, where it became smaller and didn't create as much damage. A few structures on the south end of Lathrop were damaged. The last damage point appeared to be just west of Interstate 35, where a few metal outbuildings had some metal peeled off, but no more damage was located east of I-35. The tornado dissipated between Lathrop and Interstate 35. |
