A Re-Evaluation of the Tornado Outbreak in Missouri of April 18, 1880
The Marshfield Tornado Day
by Grant L. Darkow, Professor of Atmospheric Science, University of Missouri-Columbia
During the afternoon and evening of April 18, 1880 one of the most devastating outbreaks of tornadoes ever to have affected Missouri killed more than 150 people in southwest and central Missouri. The city of Marshfield (Webster Co.), the villages of Licking (Texas Co) and Barnettsville (Morgan Co) experienced almost complete destruction of all buildings.
In several instances two or more tornadoes occurred within tens of minutes of each other following near parallel paths. The proximity of damage paths in both space and time led to some degree of confusion as to the number and true path of the tornadoes. This study is an attempt to re-evaluate the tornado paths and to resolve some of the confusion that existed in the storm summaries compiled shortly after the event on the basis of meager and incomplete reports.

The city of Marshfield (Webster Co.), the villages of Licking (Texas Co) and Barnettsville (Morgan Co) experienced almost complete destruction of all buildings.
IN WEBSTER COUNTY, the tornado passed close to the community of White Oak Springs (2 miles ENE of the present Rogersville, MO), through the Dry Fork area of Panther Creek, just north of the present location of Fordland and continued ENE to cross Teagues Creek just north of Hazelwood (5½ miles N of Seymour). At least seven deaths were reported along this track in S Webster Co.; three deaths in a family by the name of Rose, three deaths in a Scott family and a MR. RUBEN YATES. This tornado passed through southern Webster Co. some time after the James River-Marshfield tornado. Time difference estimates ranged from 20 to 55 minutes. One observer on a high ridge between the valley of the James River to the NW and the Finley Creek valley to the SE was able to observe both storms.
