Like most locations in the Midwest, the Jefferson City area is sometimes struck by severe weather, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, and winter storms. Most recently, an F3 tornado struck the city on the night of May 22-23, 2019, as part of a broader outbreak of severe storms across the Central United States. The tornado inflicted significant damage on the southern and eastern neighborhoods, damaging approximately 500 homes and other structures, including an apartment complex and car dealership, and injured some 20 people, though no one was killed. This was among the most destructive weather events in the city's history.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/05/23/tornadoes-storms-central-us-deaths-injuries/1201618001/</ref>
