...NWS Damage Survey for 04/27 and 04/28, 2026 Tornado Events...

.Overview...On April 27 and April 28, 2026, several robust supercells
moved through the eastern Ozarks. No tornado reports were initially
received from these storms. After analysis of Sentinel-2 data along
the tracks of the supercells, it was concluded that an EF-0 tornado occurred 
in far eastern Shannon County on April 27, in a densely forested area near 
portions of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Additionally, it was 
identified that a brief EF-0 tornado occurred south of White Church on April 
28. Details of these tornadoes are outlined below.
