Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 3:51 PM CDT, 3 hours 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 351 PM CDT THU APR 21 2005 .DISCUSSION... INITIAL BAND OF CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL MO IS LIKELY TO BE ONLY THE FIRST WAVE...AS NEW CONVECTION IS ATTEMPTING TO FIRE ALONG COLD FRONT FROM FAR NE KANSAS INTO NE OKLAHOMA. WILL KEEP SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES GOING THROUGH THE EVENING AS COLD FRONT MOVES INTO UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. ETABUFR SOUNDING IN FAR SE KANSAS SHOWS MLCAPES OF AROUND 2500 J/KG BY 00Z. LARGE AREA OF THIS CAPE EXISTS IN THE -10 C TO -30 C LAYER...SO THINK LARGE HAIL IS LIKELY. WIND PROFILES ARE NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL AND RELATIVELY WEAK...SO TORNADIC THREAT IS LOW EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES IN CENTRAL MO NEAR THE WARM FRONT WHERE A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM. UP UNTIL 345 PM...CONVECTION NEAR THIS BOUNDARY HAS BEEN CONFINED TO AREAS JUST NORTH OF THE CWA HOWEVER. BAND OF CONVECTION NEAR THE COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP RAPIDLY THROUGH THE CWA TONIGHT. CHILLY CANADIAN AIRMASS WILL THEN BUILD RAPIDLY INTO THE REGION ON FRIDAY ON STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS. VERY TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CREATE WINDS LIKELY REACHING 20 TO 30 MPH TOMORROW AFTERNOON WITH HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE. NEXT CONCERN IS WITH POTENTIAL FROST/LIGHT FREEZE. SATURDAY MORNING WILL LIKELY SEE MID 30S IN SOME SPOTS...HOWEVER WIND SPEEDS WILL LIKELY STAY UP ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE WIDESPREAD FROST. SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING ARE ANOTHER STORY...WITH CLEAR SKIES AND WINDS DROPPING OFF. LOW TO MID 30S ARE LIKELY...AND SOME TRADITIONALLY COLDER SPOTS COULD DROP JUST BELOW FREEZING. A FROST ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED. EXTENDED FORECAST HAS LOW CONFIDENCE LEVEL WITH MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH. HAVE FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE FAIRLY CLOSELY AFTER TUESDAY. BROWNING && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...CUMULUS FIELD SHOULD CONTINUE TO BLOSSOM THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCT TO OCCASIONALLY BKN DECK AROUND FL030. POCKET OF STRATUS/STRATOCUMULUS OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA WILL MOVE INTO THE JLN AREA FOR A COUPLE HOURS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND BKN-OVC CIGS NEAR FL030 POSSIBLE. KEPT JLN TAF VFR BUT POTENTIAL DOES EXIST FOR SOME BORDERLINE MVFR CIGS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. PERIOD OF THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY AT THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT/DRYLINE MARCH ACROSS THE AREA. POTENTIAL DOES EXIST FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AT THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING...HOWEVER KEPT HAIL/WIND OUT OF THIS TAF ISSUANCE PENDING MORE DEFINITE TIMING/INTENSITY OF THUNDERSTORMS. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP FRIDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS TO 25KT POSSIBLE BY THE END OF THIS TAF CYCLE. ROBUST COLD AIR STRATOCUMULUS DECK SHOULD BLOSSOM FRIDAY MORNING ONCE THE SUN BREAKS OUT.

100 PM CDT THU APR 21 2005
...SEVERE STORMS LIKELY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND EXTREME
SOUTHEAST KANSAS.
.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:
THUNDERSTORMS...SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH:
HAIL TO THE SIZE OF BASEBALLS.
DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.
VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLOODING.
AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO.
AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREAT.
MORE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE THEN FORECAST TO DEVELOP

PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA BETWEEN 5 PM AND 9 PM. STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE REMAINDER
OF THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
THE HIGHEST RISK FOR SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND AN
ISOLATED TORNADO EXISTS WEST OF AN OSCEOLA TO CASSVILLE LINE
BETWEEN 5 PM AND 10 PM THIS EVENING.
DISCUSSION:
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AS A WEAK
DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. WINDS ALOFT WILL INITIALLY NOT
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SUPERCELLS...HOWEVER ISOLATED STORMS
COULD PRODUCE HAIL UP TO ONE INCH IN DIAMETER.
OF GREATER CONCERN WILL BE THE THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS EVENING. BY THEN...WINDS
ALOFT WILL LIKELY HAVE INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY AND WILL SUPPORT
SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING HAIL...IN
ADDITION TO DAMAGING WINDS. THERE IS ALSO SOME POTENTIAL FOR AN
ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA
THIS EVENING.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE THEN FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
THE OUTLOOK AREA LATE THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
THE SEVERITY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DIMINISH SOME AFTER
9 OR 10 PM...HOWEVER SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 60 MPH AND HAIL UP TO AROUND 1 INCH IN DIAMETER WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL WORK INTO THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND
SOUTHEAST KANSAS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S FRIDAY NIGHT...THEN
INTO THE LOW TO MIDDLE 30S SATURDAY NIGHT. WHILE NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL LIKELY PREVENT FROST FROM FORMING FRIDAY NIGHT...DIMINISHING
WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES ON SATURDAY NIGHT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
WIDESPREAD FROST.
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...THEN AGAIN ON THURSDAY.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED AS EARLY AS THIS AFTERNOON...AND
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS EVENING.
