History
On December 15, 2007, an EF2 tornado struck Lothair. It touched down in a heavily forested area and caused significant tree damage. The tornado then strengthened as it moved northeast and reached the town, where a fire department building was destroyed. A mobile home northeast of the community was completely destroyed by the tornado, and another home was moved off its foundation. Right before the tornado lifted, it ripped a carport off a home and threw it approximately 50 yd (46 m) across the street. This tornado was a part of the
Mid-December 2007 North American winter storms.
