Answer 1

Anytime there are thunderstorms, a tornado is always a possibility, even though it is a slim possibility in most cases. I checked the Storm Prediction  Center reports and none are listed for the Kirksville area. If you do believe that there was one there, I suggest you call the National Weather Service office that serves Kirksville (the Kansas City/Pleasant Hill office) at 816-540-6021 and report it. They will check it out.
