Survey Summary:
This tornado is believed to have begun near a grove of trees in
the middle of a field to the west of the intersection of Essex
Road and Relyea Road. A definitive start point was difficult to
discern due to flooding in the area. As this tornado tracked to
the northeast, a couple of large metal electrical transmission
towers were blown down along Long Point Road west of Kittlers or
a few miles southeast of Almyra.  From this point, the tornado
continued northeast and crossed Stroh Road near Kagebein Road
where a metal building system was damaged as well as a small
outbuilding and a couple of trailers were observed to have been
tipped or flipped over. The tornado crossed State Highway 130 in
the 90 degree bend just south of Almyra. Near the intersection of
Hillman Rd. and west 14th St. in Almyra evidence of a strong RFD
push was noted with a power pole snapped and the siding stripped
off of a standalone garage with the damage oriented perpendicular
to the tornado track that was observed farther to the east. The
tornado tracked northeast partially destroyed boat shop behind a
residence in southeast Almyra. Half of the shop's walls were
collapsed pulling the concrete anchoring up as the walls folded
inward before the metal wall panels were peeled off and carried
off to the northeast. Continuing northeast, the tornado damaged
another, but older metal building system at the far northeast
part of town. Several roofing panels were peeled off the building
and a porch like structure was collapsed. boards from the porch
structure were blown into a small outbuilding to the east, the
impact punching the door inward. Debris from both the boat shop
and metal building system were carried northeast and dropped in
the fields on either side of Bracewell Rd. Powerlines and wooden
power poles were blown down along Moss Rd, and debris could be
viewed in the fields off to the northeast of the intersection of
Moss and Laurie streets. A definitive ending spot could not be
determined due to extensive flooding of roads off to the
northeast. Placed the end point of the tornado as far away in the
fields as debris was visible in conjunction with radar indicated
debris signature and associated rotational couplet. No other
damage was reported to the northeast.

.Almyra Tornado 2...

Rating:                 EF1
Estimated Peak Wind:    110 mph
Path Length /statute/:  0.9 miles
Path Width /maximum/:   50 yards
Fatalities:             0

Start Location:         1 S Almyra / Arkansas County / AR
Start Lat/Lon:          34.3959 / -91.4117

End Date:               04/02/2025
End Time:               06:23 PM CDT
End Location:           1 E Almyra / Arkansas County / AR
End Lat/Lon:            34.4038 / -91.3984

Survey Summary:
This tornado is believed to have begun west of Old Almyra Way
south of Almyra where debris was noted in a field roughly 100-
200 yards to the east of the first Almyra. This tornado then
tracked northeast crossing near the intersection of Moss Road and
Vos Road where several wooden power poles were snapped. There was
a clear delineation in damage between the first Almyra tornado
and the second. No additional damage could be found farther
northeast, so this is likely where the tornado dissipated.
