3 NNE Coffeeville - 4 W Mcentyre A unique, brief satellite tornado began south of the Clarke County EF2 tornado on 4/5/22 at approximately 9:10 AM CDT. This satellite tornado produced EF1 damage where several softwood trees were snapped/uprooted on Ice Plant Road. The tornado continued east-northeast impacting a barn where there was significant loss of roofing material and side covering. The tornado also uprooted a large oak tree at this location. The tornado then quickly turned east crossing Bethel Road and reaching Smyer Road as an EF0 snapping a couple softwood trees. The tornado completed its arc around the southern periphery of the EF2 tornado with the satellite tornado tracking due north along Smyer Road just before Friendship Road, lifting just shy of the primary tornado circulation. EF0 damage with a couple uprooted softwood trees were the last observable damage at this point. Start: 31.7970/-88.0528 End: 31.8060/-88.0281
