...NWS Damage Survey for April 20, 2025 Tornado Event Update 2...

.Update...

The National Weather Service damage survey crew found evidence of
a second tornado near the community of Reform in Saline County.
The tornado damage began in a highly wooded and largely inaccessable
area south of Lake Winona and continued northeast damaging many
trees on the Lake Winona side of the community of Reform. The tornado
continued northeast, primarily through wooded areas damaging many
trees along its path. It eventually crossed over the Saline County
line into Perry County, crossing Forest Road 132 near Round Mountain
before dissipating just across the Saline/Perry County border. There
was a large swath of nearly continuous tree damage along the entire
path of the tornado consistent with a high end EF-1 tornado.

.Magness Tornado Narrative...

A NWS survey crew found evidence of a tornado that began in far
northern Pulaski county at highway 107 near Fourmile Hill. The
tornado quickly moved northeast into far southeast Faulkner County
over Wilson Hill before continuing northeast into far northwest
Lonoke County at Ballard Rd, just south of Ballard Hill. Most of
the tornado`s path was found to be in northwest Lonoke County and
the tornado dissipated just after it crossed into far southwest
White County near the community of Opal near Highway 64. The
survey team found damage consistent with a strong EF-1 tornado,
with peak estimated winds of 105 mph. Most of the damage from
the tornado was done to trees with many uprooted trees found
along its path. Most of the damage to structures was found to be
associated with trees falling on the structures, however damage to
the roofs of structures was found due to tornado winds along the
tornado`s path.
