JOHNSON COUNTY (KFSM) -- The National Weather Service in Little Rock determined an EF-1 tornado struck Johnson County overnight on Tuesday (Feb. 28) and into Wednesday morning (March 1).

NWS confirmed a small track EF-1 tornado touched down just north of Interstate-40 near the Lamar Exit, said Dennis Cavanaugh of the NWS Little Rock. The tornado hit an area east of Clarksville.

"Based on what we can see here it's probably less than a mile long, but again, I don't know for sure," Cavanaugh said. "We will get an exact measurement from the GPS points we took."

NWS has been surveying damage around the state following the severe weather that hit the area late Tuesday night. They determined there was tornado damage on Friday (March 3).

Cavanaugh said after surveying damage in the Hagersville area, they determined it was a microburst.
