A small tornado event occurred in Oklahoma early on January 8, with five tornadoes being confirmed, one of which was rated a low-end EF2 after it tore the roof off of a house southwest of Purcell.[5][6] This tornado caused one injury along its path when it rolled a semi-truck as it crossed I-35, and also caused considerable damage in the town itself.[7][8] The storms also brought an 88mph (142km/h) wind gust to Wynona, Oklahoma and an 81mph (130km/h) wind gust to Independence, Kansas. There were five tornadoes each on January 9 and 10.[9]
January 8 (Turkey)
On the early evening of January 8, an IF2-rated tornado tracked through the villages of Kızılağaç, Karacalar, and Sülek in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. The roofs of six buildings were ripped away and numerous greenhouses were destroyed. The walls of various barns collapsed and trees along the tornado's path were uprooted and splintered. Several vehicles were damaged by the tornado, including a Fiat that was thrown into a nearby tractor, which struck a 20-year-old woman who sustained non-life-threatening injuries from the impact.[1][10][11]
January 9 (Israel)
A waterspout off the coast of Bat Yam caught three kitesurfers and expelled them at high speeds towards the shore. One kitesurfer died after sustaining severe injuries, and another was lightly injured. The waterspout went on to briefly make landfall on the beach but caused no further damage.[1]
January 10 (Brazil)
On the afternoon of January 10, an F2 tornado struck the city of São José dos Pinhais in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, with peak winds estimated at 180km/h (110mph).[12][13] An estimated 1,200 people were affected, including two people sustaining minor injuries and two families displaced.

A small tornado outbreak occurred across two days in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Two of these tornadoes, one IF2 in AksuDistrict and the other IF1 Manavgat District each caused one injury.[1][15] Infrastructural and tree damage was also reported and some boats were damaged or destroyed. A few other tornadoes were confirmed, mostly damaging roofs, greenhouses, and farms, although one, rated IF1.5, collapsed a Mosque tower in Denizyaka.[1]
January 30 (Spain)
A strong IF2 tornado struck the city of Plasencia, Spain in Province of Cáceres. In the vicinity of the Virgen del Puerto Hospital, the roof of the parking structure was torn off, and more than 50 cars were damaged.[1][16][17] Damage was also reported on Dolores Ibárruri Avenue and in the Ciudad Jardín neighborhood. No injuries were reported.[1]
January 31 (France)
A strong IF2 tornado affected Mios in GirondeDepartment, damaging around 200–300 homes. The tornado ripped roofs off houses, collapsed walls, and uprooted power poles. It also downed many trees along its 20-kilometre (12-mile) path.[1] No injuries were reported, but more than 100 firefighters were called in to assist in clearing debris, including on several lanes of the A63 autoroute that were closed after trees blocked the road.[18]
On the morning of February 19, the Storm Prediction Center issued an enhanced risk for severe weather due to the overlap of unseasonably rich moisture with a pronounced low-pressure system over southern Illinois and southern Indiana, resulting in a chance for strong EF2+ tornadoes.[19] During the evening hours, several tornadoes touched down across the Ohio River Valley. A high-end EF1 tornado in Crawford County, Illinois damaged 12–15 homes and injured multiple people.[20][21] One mobile home was rolled over by the tornado, trapping a woman inside.[22] An EF2 tornado in Bloomington, Indiana prompted a "particularly dangerous situation" tornado warning for the city, with widespread damage being reported.[23][24][25] Both damaging tornadoes were produced by the same cyclic supercell, which tracked more than 150 miles through the risk area. The storm system also led to two fatalities in Nebraska due to a car crash from the wintry conditions it brought.[26]
A deadly EF3 tornado approaching Union City, Michigan
A small but significant and deadly tornado outbreak occurred between March 5–7, fueled by a large storm system. During the evening hours of March 5, a supercell tracked for several hours through northwestern Oklahoma into Kansas, producing multiple tornadoes. A mother and daughter were killed in Major County, Oklahoma when the first significant tornado, rated EF2, touched down west of Fairview. The intense winds struck their vehicle as they were driving near US 60, throwing their car into a nearby field.[27] Just a few minutes after the first tornado lifted, an EF1 tornado touched down and moved northwest of Cleo Springs. It was followed by another long-tracked EF2 tornado that prompted multiple PDS tornado warnings, and caused damage near Jet and Helena. An EF1 tornado also impacted areas near Wakita later that night. Elsewhere, trees were downed, and homes and power lines were damaged.[28][7] Two EF1 tornadoes were reported in southern Kansas east of Bluff City.[25] The next day, an isolated supercell produced four tornadoes in Michigan,[29] with an EF1 tornado tracking over 13 miles in Cass County, causing one fatality after the front of a home was destroyed.
An EF3 tornado visible through a power flash near Beggs, Oklahoma
A strong EF2 tornado hit Three Rivers, Michigan, prompting a PDS tornado warning. The tornado injured 10 people and caused significant damage to numerous businesses, including at a Menards.[30][31] The cyclic supercell continued moving to the east-northeast and produced a destructive high-end EF3 tornado near Union City, Michigan, killing three people and injuring 12 others.[32][33] The worst damage occurred near Union Lake, where a couple of homes were swept off their foundations. Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a state of emergency in Branch, St. Joseph, and Cass counties to coordinate an all-hands-on-deck response to the severe weather.[34] Back in Oklahoma, several tornadoes were reported in the east central and northeastern parts of the state.[35] An EF2 tornado tore through communities north of Tulsa and two people were killed after a low-end EF3 tornado struck the city of Beggs, which damaged multiple homes and businesses as well.[36] Tornadic activity continued overnight, spreading into Texas and Arkansas.[37] A low-end EF2 tornado struck near Prospect in Marion County, Texas, injuring two people.[38] A mid-range EF2 tornado touched down near Willisville, Arkansas which damaged trees, lofted and destroyed a trailer and left one person injured.[39]
Overall, 32 tornadoes were confirmed during the outbreak, along with eight fatalities and 29 injuries.[25] According to federal weather officials, neither a tornado watch nor a severe thunderstorm watch was put into effect in Michigan during the outbreak due to the storm being primarily concentrated in a small three-county area, which made it difficult to detect in advance; the highest risk level on that day in the area was also only a Level 1 Marginal risk.[40] Governor Whitmer's office called for a probe into the absence of a tornado watch alert and questioned if it could be attributed to President Donald Trump's funding cutbacks to the National Weather Service.[41]
Another significant tornado outbreak occurred across much of the central United States, highlighted by a moderate risk for severe weather for parts of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana.[42] Tornado watches were issued from Texas to Indiana during the late afternoon and early evening due to the risk of severe weather.[43][44] A large and long-tracked EF3[45] tornado passed through the southern portions of Kankakee, Illinois and the suburb of Aroma Park, damaging over 500 buildings and killing one person, before crossing into Indiana and striking Lake Village, where it caused two fatalities and damaged an additional 106 buildings.[25][46][47] The supercell also produced potentially record-breaking hail, with reports of 5–6-inch (13–15cm) hailstones in the Kankakee area, which, if confirmed, would break the former Illinois state record of 4.75-inch (12.1cm) diameter hail.[48][49]
The supercell continued producing tornadoes, including a large EF1 tornado near Wheatfield, Indiana that caused three injuries,[45] and an EF2 tornado which had a tornado emergency issued for it in Knox, Indiana.[50][51][25] Tornadic activity continued overnight further south as a strongly forced QLCS pushed its way off to the east.[52] In addition to the tornadoes, a group of hailstorms impacted parts of the Kansas City metropolitan area, producing baseball-sized hailstones in Parkville, Missouri.[53] Overall, 106 tornadoes were confirmed during the outbreak, along with three fatalities and 16 injuries.[25]
March 14 (Italy)
A brief tornado struck an airfield in Serdiana late in the evening on March 14. The tornado damaged and overturned fixed and mobile units, including a camper with a skydiver inside, who suffered a minor injury to his hand.[54]
March 15 (India)
On the afternoon of March 15, an EF2[55] tornado struck parts of the Mayurbhanj district in Odisha, eastern India, causing significant damage. More than 100 homes were damaged, many of them traditional mud-and-thatch structures. Roofs were flattened, and debris was scattered across the area in Kia village, Karanjia. Strong winds knocked down electric poles, uprooted large trees, cut power, blocked roads in several locations, and swept vehicles off the road. Two people were killed, and at least 29 others were injured, including six critically.[56][57][58]

A rainwrapped EF2 tornado near Ottawa, Kansas, on April 13
A tornado outbreak occurred across much of the Midwestern and Central United States, with an enhanced risk for severe weather issued for April 13 and April 14.[60][61] A slight risk for severe weather was also issued for April 15.[62] On April 13, a strong EF2 tornado impacted southern portions of Ottawa, Kansas, inflicting significant damage and injuring three people after a house just east of the city was impacted.[63][25] Another EF2 tornado from the same supercell tracked through portions of Miami County, Kansas, causing significant damage near Hillsdale Lake and in the town of Hillsdale. The tornado injured one person and impacted around 100 structures, with 50 being significantly damaged.[64][65][25] An EF1 tornado tracked just south of Mound City and Pleasanton, Kansas, with two people being injured after a mobile home was destroyed.[25] Following these tornadoes in Kansas, Representative Sharice Davids sent a letter to the National Weather Service over concerns of missing data due to skipped weather balloon launches. Davids stated that the storms in Kansas revealed gaps in the National Weather Services's forecasting and warning operations and that tornado watches went out later than usual.[66]
The home north of Union Center, Wisconsin with all of its walls collapsed at low-end EF3 intensity
On April 14, tornado activity resumed as another round of tornadoes took place across Iowa and Wisconsin. A low-end EF3 tornado tracked just north of Union Center, Wisconsin, inflicting significant damage to outbuildings and trees, with one home being destroyed at EF3 intensity.[67][25] Later that day, an EF2 tornado impacted areas near Sussex, Wisconsin, causing roof damage to several structures, including one which completely lost its roof on its southern side. A small outbuilding was destroyed, and several trees were also snapped and uprooted.[68][69] In addition, five tornadoes touched down overnight in Michigan on the 14th and 15th, with two being rated EF0 and three rated EF1.[70] Lightning during the storms caused one fatality to a 41-year-old man in Waukesha, Wisconsin on April 15.[71] Overall, 50 tornadoes occurred during the outbreak.[25]
A significant tornado outbreak took place on April 17–18. A moderate risk for severe weather for significant winds of up to 90mph (140km/h), along with a risk of very large hail up to 3–3.5 inches (7.6–8.9cm), was issued on April 17 by the SPC, stretching from northern Oklahoma into southeastern Kansas and western Missouri.[72] An elevated tornado threat was also forecasted with EF3+ tornadoes possible in northeast Iowa, northwest Illinois, southern Wisconsin, and extreme southeastern Minnesota. Throughout the afternoon and evening hours, multiple tornadoes touched down in and around the risk area. Multiple houses were damaged and two people were injured by a high-end EF2 tornado that tracked through southern portions of Rochester, Minnesota.[73] The Stephenson County Sheriff's Office asked the public to avoid the town of Lena, Illinois, where a large high-end EF2 tornado inflicted significant damage.[74] A low-end EF3 tornado tracked through areas near Cream, Wisconsin, causing significant damage to a home by removing most of its exterior walls and destroying several outbuildings.[25] Another EF3 tornado struck portions of Ringle, Wisconsin, damaging and destroying around 75 homes and minorly damaging a school.[75][25] Tornadoes in the Bloomington–Normal area heavily delayed two Amtrak trains as well.[76] Overall, 88 tornadoes were confirmed during the outbreak.[25]
Another significant tornado outbreak began unfolding in the Central part of the United States on April 23, when an enhanced risk for severe weather was issued by the SPC for portions of eastern Kansas and northern Oklahoma, with strong tornadoes possible along a dryline in Oklahoma.[77] Multiple tornado watches and warnings were issued during the afternoon and evening,[78][79] and a tornado emergency was issued for southern Enid, along with Breckinridge and northern Fairmont, Oklahoma.[80] Extreme damage was reported near Enid, with around 40 homes destroyed or flattened by a violent EF4 tornado.[81][82] Damage to Vance Air Force Base was also reported, causing the base to close.[83][84] Windspeeds in the tornado were estimated to be at most 180mph (290km/h), with a maximum width of 600yd (550m), and a damage path of 9.51 miles (15.30km).[25] One injury was reported with this tornado.[85][25] A moderate risk was issued on April 25 for parts of Oklahoma and Texas. A 10% risk for tornadoes was highlighted for the Texas-Oklahoma border.[86] That evening, a high-end EF2 tornado tracked through portions of Runaway Bay, Texas, completely destroying one home and heavily damaging multiple others. One person was killed, and numerous others sustained injuries.[87][88] In Runaway Bay, 1,690 people were left without power, and a further 248 were left without power in Springtown. Several families were left displaced by the tornadoes.[89] A 69-year-old woman was killed near Carter, Texas, by an intense RFD surge after her mobile home rolled multiple times and was destroyed.[90][91]
Low-end EF3 tree damage near Mineral Wells, Texas
Another moderate risk was issued on April 27 for parts of Missouri and Illinois, with small parts of Kentucky and Tennessee, for a risk of multiple strong to intense tornadoes. A 15% risk of tornadoes was outlined.[92] A PDS Tornado watch was issued at 2:45 P.M. CDT, covering northeast Arkansas, western Tennessee, southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois, southwest Indiana, and western Kentucky.[93] One long-tracked EF2 tornado did occur, but all the other tornadoes were weak as supercells failed to reach the tornadic potential that they were expected to do that day.[25] On April 28, a third moderate risk was issued for the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas. A 45% risk for hail was issued for parts of northern Texas, with baseball-sized hail likely.[94] An EF3 tornado struck portions of Mineral Wells, Texas, causing significant damage and injuring five people, two of whom were hospitalized.[95][96] Hail up to the size of 4.5in (11cm) was reported in Johnson County, Texas while a destructive hailstorm struck Springfield, Missouri, producing 2.75–4.75in (7.0–12.1cm) that damaged thousands of vehicles, buildings, and homes.[97] Overall, 119 tornadoes were confirmed during the outbreak sequence.[25]
Damage produced by an IF4 tornado near Akçamezra, TurkeySecurity camera footage of the IF4 tornado near Çangallı, Turkey
A major tornado outbreak occurred primarily across Southern Turkey and Northern Syria. The strongest tornado of the outbreak was an IF4 tornado that started in Northeastern Syria near the Syria–Turkey border before crossing into Turkey. Many masonry buildings in Akçamezra were heavily damaged or destroyed, and major damage was done at a pistachio orchard near Çaybeyi, where ground was scoured, farm buildings were swept away, and mature pistachio trees received "extraordinary" damage with some being entirely debarked and stubbed. Two people were injured by the tornado when it threw the van they were driving in. Other tornadoes in the outbreak include an IF2 tornado that struck Kadıköy that injured eight, collapsed transmission towers, and destroyed several farm buildings; an IF2 tornado that struck Subaşı in Mardin, knocking down power poles and overturning a construction container, causing four injuries; tornadoes in Gaziantep that caused three more injuries; and an IF2.5 tornado that severely damaged homes after striking the village of Malta, located in southeastern Turkey. In addition, non-tornadic winds in Şanlıurfa caused one fatality. Minor damage occurred to 39 schools, with classes cancelled the next day in the aforementioned schools as a result.[1][98]
May 6 (Argentina)
An IF3 tornado struck areas near Las Flores amid an intense storm, with estimated peak winds of 290km/h (180mph).[99][100] The tornado caused significant damage, including a house that was completely destroyed in the Harosteguy area, injuring four members of a family. A power pole was knocked down in IF2 intensity, with winds above 200km/h (120mph). Eucalyptus trees were debarked on IF1.5 to IF2 intensity, ground scouring was also noted.[99][101]
A small but significant tornado outbreak occurred during the evening of May 6 in the Southeastern United States, with most of the activity centered on southern Mississippi. The SPC issued an enhanced risk for severe weather, driven by a 10% chance for tornadoes with CIG 1 hatching.[102] That evening, a very large, extremely long-tracked, high-end EF3 tornado occurred in southwestern Mississippi. Forming south of Knoxville, Mississippi, the tornado reached a maximum width of 1.5mi (2.4km), toppled an electrical tower, caused significant tree damage with a localized corridor of 160mph (260km/h) rated EF3 damage, and injured 23 people. The tornado stayed on the ground for over 2 hours and had a track length of 81.9mi (131.8km).[103][25][104] Three tornado emergencies were issued for this tornado, along with several PDS tornado warnings.[105][106][107][108] The Franklin County Emergency Management director reported that multiple homes were destroyed, with residents trapped as dangerous weather conditions slowed response efforts.[109] More than 800 structures were damaged in Franklin and Lincoln counties. In Lawrence County, 12 homes were damaged. Additionally, a high-end EF2 tornado near Purvis, Mississippi, caused three injuries.[25] A total of around 20,000 people were left without power as a result of the event.[110] Overall, nine tornadoes occurred during this outbreak.[25]
A strong tornado struck the village of Oyaca in Çorum, injuring five people. Homes were damaged, trees were snapped and uprooted, and utility poles were bent, with the tornado being rated IF2 as a result. Two other tornadoes occurred in the area, although these may events may have been as a result of the same tornado that struck Oyaca.[1]

Video of an EF3 tornado near St. Libory, Nebraska recorded by NSSL researcher Sean Waugh on May 17
On May 17, an enhanced risk for severe weather was issued for much of the Northern and Central Plains by the SPC.[112] A 15% chance for tornadoes was outlined for portions of Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota with EF2+ tornadoes possible. A tornado emergency was issued for the city of Hebron, Nebraska after an EF1 tornado rapidly developed right outside of the town.[113] A high-end EF3 tornado in southeast Howard County, Nebraska was observed by researchers and scientists from the NOAANational Severe Storms Laboratory, during the 2026 LIFT field project. The tornado significantly damaged four homes north of St. Libory.[114][115][116] On May 18, the SPC issued a moderate risk for portions of Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas for severe weather, driven by a 15% tornado risk with EF3+ tornadoes possible.[117] A PDS tornado watch was issued for portions of Nebraska and Kansas.[118] However, despite the favorable parameters, only weak tornadoes were confirmed on this day. A tornado emergency was issued for Pawnee City, Nebraska due to an EFU tornado that was spotted just outside of the town.[119][120] Overall, 58 tornadoes occurred during the outbreak.[121][122][123]

A small tornado outbreak occurred in Russia, with multiple IF1.5 tornadoes striking many places around Perm Krai and Komi. A large, intense multi-vortex IF2 rated tornado was detected by satellite imagery near Syktyvkar. Despite the maximum IF2 intensity that can be given by the TSA indicator, it is more likely that the tornado had a higher category due to its large size and intense sub-vortices, which also caused catastrophic damage to a forest.[1]
May 30 (Poland)
An isolated supercell produced a strong IF2 tornado near the village of Balcarzowice in southern Poland. The tornado was multi-vortex in nature, with a potential satellite tornado causing IF1 damage west and south of the main tornado. At least 18 buildings were damaged, including at least eleven residential buildings, many at IF2 strength. One person sustained minor injuries due to flying debris after his camper was overturned.[1]

An EF1 tornado east of Dwight, Illinois on June 11
A major tornado outbreak took place between June 9–11. On June 9, an extreme risk for severe weather was issued for Saskatchewan and Manitoba.[128] A tornado touched down near Oxbow, Saskatchewan and impacted a farmstead, significantly damaging a home and destroying barns and grain bins.[129] The tornado was preliminarily rated EF3, making it the strongest tornado in the province since 2010.[130][131] Two EF0-default tornadoes occurred near Dufrost and Ste. Anne, Manitoba, causing no damage. On June 10, a large cone tornado, rated EF2, struck near the town of Unionville, Missouri. This storm was tagged with a PDS tornado warning.[132]
A cabin destroyed at EF3 intensity northwest of Washburn, Illinois
The following day, June 11, a moderate risk for severe weather was issued by the SPC during the 1300z outlook cycle. This was driven by a risk of tornadoes with a 15% risk contour and CIG 2 hatching, and a risk of straight line winds with a 60% risk contour and CIG 1 hatching.[133][134] A man was found critically injured and later died at a homeless encampment in Des Moines after a tree fell on him due to non-tornadic winds.[135] A tornado emergency was issued for Washburn, Illinois due to a large EF3 tornado.[136][25] That same supercell eventually spawned another EF3 tornado that hit the south-southeastern parts of Streator, Illinois.[137][138] A large EF1 tornado touched down in Dwight, Illinois.[139][140] Two more damaging tornadoes touched down in Ross, Indiana and Hebron, Indiana.[141][142] A high-end EF3 tornado also touched down near Kouts, Indiana.[143] The severe weather on June 10–11 delayed numerous Amtrak trains with the westbound and eastbound California Zephyr trains being delayed almost 20 hours and over 12 hours respectively, with other trains experiencing 1–3.5 hour long delays.[76] Overall, 102 tornadoes occurred during this outbreak.[25]

A mobile home that was severely damaged near Wax, Kentucky at low-end EF2 intensity
Severe thunderstorms across the Eastern United States caused a significant outbreak of tornadoes across the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley, and Midwestern United States between July 20–21. On July 19, an enhanced risk for severe weather was issued by the SPC for July 21 across much of the Ohio Valley, fueled by a large damaging Straight-line wind threat.[204] By July 20, this risk would be slightly expanded into portions of Virginia, with a 5% tornado threat also introduced for the potential threat of QLCS tornadoes.[205] This was expanded again the following day, although no strong tornado threat was forecasted.[206] An enhanced risk for severe weather also was issued for July 20, including a 10% CIG 1 tornado risk across northeastern Iowa and central Wisconsin.[207] However, the tornado threat was not as significant as forecast, due to later storm initiation.[208] An EF0 tornado however did occur near Neopit, Wisconsin, along with multiple other tornadoes across Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan on July 20.[25]
On July 21, despite the relatively low threat of tornadoes, supercells would quickly organize faster than expected, producing a high-end EF1 tornado near Owenton, Kentucky, injuring one person.[209][25] Shortly after, a brief EF2 tornado touched down north of Big Springs, West Virginia.[210] A few hours later, another longer track EF2 tornado occurred near Caywood, Ohio, snapping several trees. Almost immediately after, another high-end EF2 tornado formed near Newport, Ohio, and crossed the West Virginia border, causing severe damage near St. Marys, West Virginia, including collapsing a cell phone pole.[25][211] A fourth EF2 tornado occurred near Wax, Kentucky, destroying a manufactured home and injuring one person, becoming the most damaging tornado of the outbreak.[25] A highly publicized, but weak EF0 tornado formed in downtown Youngstown, Ohio, before dissipating along the Pennsylvania border.[212][25] Additionally, flash floods associated with the storms affected the state of West Virginia, resulting in two fatalities.[213] Overall, 37 tornadoes occurred during this outbreak.[25]

A security camera still of an F4 tornado in Piraí do Sul
Another severe weather outbreak occurred in Brazil on August 8, fueled by warm, humid air from northern Brazil being advected south in response to a low pressure system over Paraguay. This, combined with wind shear along a cold front, favored the formation of organized convection, including supercells.[231] One of these supercells, in the municipality of Piraí do Sul, Paraná, produced a violent tornado that collapsed several homes (both wooden and masonry), along with collapsing a electricity transmission tower.[232] The tornado inflicted violent damage to numerous native trees.[233] Some Araucaria branches were thrown with such force that they became embedded in the ground or other tree trunks.[232] The tornado tracked for 26.1 kilometres (16.2mi) and, while it was rated F3 by SIMEPAR,[234]PREVOTS noted that extreme tree damage inflicted by the tornado, along with 127–188m2 (1,370–2,020sqft) of soil removed with depths measuring 10–30cm (0.33–0.98ft), justified an F4 rating.[233] Three other tornadoes occurred, including another significant tornado that occurred near Candói.[233]

↑Damage Assessment Toolkit data is considered preliminary and may exclude or inaccurately reflect certain events.
↑The NTP rating for a tornado that does no known damage is EF0-default, which is equivalent to EFU on the American EF Scale.
↑The National Weather Service office in Green Bay, Wisconsin (NWS GRB), published slightly contradicting preliminary statements for the tornado. In their official Preliminary Information Statement on July 31, 2026, the estimated wind speed of the tornado is explicitly called out as 140mph (230km/h).[220] On the Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT), NWS Green Bay released on July 29, 2026, that a family residence had "all walls collapsed" with "no anchoring at all". The damage to that structure is marked for winds of 142mph (229km/h).[25] The public information statement is being used as it is the most recent preliminary statement from the National Weather Service.
