Approximate coordinates of the reported event are 37.100°, -95.700°. The marker on the map above shows this position; for news-derived reports the location reflects the place named in media coverage and may represent a district or city rather than an exact site.

Understanding tornado events

Violently rotating columns of air producing concentrated destruction. Tornado intensity is rated on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale from observed damage. Because warning times are typically measured in minutes, the difference between injury and safety is usually whether people can reach an interior room on the lowest floor.

How severity is rated

Global Incident Tracker rates every event on a four-step scale — Minor, Moderate, Severe and Extreme — derived from the source signal: earthquake magnitude, official GDACS alert colour, or the volume of independent media reporting for news-derived incidents. This event is currently rated Extreme. Ratings can change as more information becomes available, and a rating is a monitoring signal rather than an official government assessment.

Safety guidance for tornado situations

• Go to the lowest floor, in an interior room, away from windows — a basement or reinforced room is best.
• Cover your head and neck; most injuries come from flying debris.
• A vehicle or mobile home is not shelter; leave for a sturdy structure if there is time.
• Keep a weather-alert app or radio active during watch periods.
• Follow only official instructions from local authorities and emergency services — this page is a monitoring record, not an emergency alert.

Data and verification

This record was generated automatically from the US National Weather Service (NWS) and de-duplicated against our archive. Early reports for any incident can be revised: locations get refined, magnitudes are recalculated and impact figures change as assessments arrive. We deliberately do not publish casualty numbers unless an official source states them. The original source report is linked at the top of this page.
