==Tornado==
{{Unreferenced section|date=February 2020}}
During the evening of March 2, 2012, tornado that was rated EF-2 intensity by the National Weather Service (NWS) survey struck the community.

The tornado touched down at approximately 7:05pm EST about {{convert|4.3|mi}} west of East Bernstadt and traveled for {{convert|6.3|mi}} before lifting about {{convert|3.6|mi}} north-northeast of East Bernstadt at approximately 7:12pm EST.

The tornado was approximately 310 yards wide and killed six people. It took the home of Mike and Brenda Eversole along with his semi truck and trailer and all their belongings. He and family were in their home when this took place. The only thing that saved their life was the home slamming in the semi and turning it over. That impact slowed the part of their home stopping it from going through the woods with the rest of it. If it had not been there, four more deaths would have been on the total.

The tornado appears to have been the strongest near location 1, with estimated sustained winds of {{convert|125|mph}}. This is also roughly the area in which several homes were heavily damaged or destroyed, and where the five fatalities took place.

This tornado was just one of many associated with [[Tornado outbreak of March 2–3, 2012|the outbreak]] that took place across the Ohio and Tennessee Valley region on Friday, March 2, 2012.
