A two-day severe weather episode affected parts of the Great Plains and Midwestern United States.
Several EF0 tornadoes occurred on April 8 in the south central part of Kansas, including some to the northwest of Wichita, Kansas, near the towns of Garden Plain and Andale.
An EF1 tornado caused moderate damage as it struck the town of Potosi, Missouri, that evening as well.
Several tornadoes were also reported from Texas to Illinois on April 9.
A multiple-vortex EF1 tornado struck the towns of Clinton, Iowa, and Fulton, Illinois, and an EF2 tornado near Mount Selman, Texas snapped and uprooted numerous trees, damaged outbuildings, and removed the roof and collapsed a few exterior walls at a frame home.

The most significant event of the outbreak was a violent, long-tracked, very high-end EF4 wedge tornado that moved along a 30.14 mile-long path across several counties in northern Illinois, killing two people and injuring another 22.
An EF0 satellite tornado also caused major damage to outbuildings at the Summerfield Zoo near Belvidere, where two animals were killed.
Two other EF1 tornadoes from the same parent supercell also occurred near Belvidere after the main EF4 dissipated, causing mostly minor damage, though one home lost most of its roof.
Another tornado spawned by a separate supercell passed near Cherry Valley, though it remained over open country and caused no damage.
Overall, this relatively small outbreak produced 2 fatalities and 24 tornadoes.
