This alert expired on 31 May 2026 at 00:45 UTC. It is kept here as a record.

No stronger detection stands among the 40 recorded within 20 km of this point since 15 March 2026 — 6 others scored the same. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 4 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.

If a tornado warning is issued: go to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows. A vehicle and a mobile home are not shelter. Cover your head and neck. Wait for the official all-clear before going outside, and watch for downed power lines and gas leaks afterwards.
