During the afternoon hours of May 25, 2008, a large and extremely powerful EF5 wedge tornado, most commonly referred to as the Parkersburg tornado or alternatively known as the Parkersburg–New Hartford tornado, devastated the towns of Parkersburg and New Hartford, Iowa. Part of a large tornado outbreak across the Central Plains, the tornado killed nine people and caused around $75 million in damages across its approximately 43 mile path through northeast Iowa
