Record number

None yet. SPC numbers 2026 in the spring of 2027.

30 damage points were recorded along this path by NWS TOP, in the Damage Assessment Toolkit the survey teams carry. The strongest indicator was rated EFU. The highest wind the damage implies is 100 mph.

• Trailers ended up in cornfield unsure where they were before the storm
• Old rotten tree down low end
• Silver maple limb broken with remains of metal shed that appears to have been a shelter for baseball field for scorekeepers etc. unsure if this is tornado damage on northwest side it could be damage blown toward south
• Shelter and tree at baseball field uncertain if tornado damage or wind here

Survey points are preliminary and are the raw material the published rating was built from. Source: NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit.

The incredible stretch of severe weather continued on Wednesday June 10th with more severe storms and a few small tornadoes across Dickinson county. The storms also dumped more flooding rains across parts of Kansas that were already saturated from days of torrential rainfall.

A storm chaser documented a small tornado at 7:46 pm with video and photos. NWS damage survey revealed minor tree damage and some property damage in a short path in this area.

NWS storm survey assisted by OU research team observations documented a tornado in this area that formed and produced damage along a short path. The research team also documented damaging inflow winds on the north side of the low level mesocyclone of the parent storm that was producing winds approaching 100 mph near Woodbine that likely caused the extensive damage in that community. That damage was classified as wind damage since the actual tornado vortex formed a few miles southwest of Woodbine.

From NOAA NCEI's Storm Events Database, the narrative the local forecast office wrote for Storm Data.

23 minutes of warning. NWS TOP issued a tornado warning for this county at 00:54 UTC, 23 minutes before the tornado touched down, in force until 01:45 UTC.

The county was under a tornado watch, issued at 19:14 UTC and running to 02:54 UTC.

Every warning and watch covering the touchdown point that day, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service products. Lead time is measured from the issue of the warning in force to the touchdown time in the database, both of which were recorded to the minute by different people.

The Storm Prediction Center had this point in a Slight Risk, with a 0.02 chance of a tornado within 25 miles, in the hatched area where significant tornadoes were expected. The outlook in force was issued at 01:19 UTC.

SPC's Day 1 convective outlook as it stood when the tornado began, read at the touchdown point. The same archive is on the radar archive.

The radiosonde launches on either side of the tornado, from the nearest station that was launching then, drawn and analyzed the way Storm Lab does: the same diagram, the same parcel and shear definitions SPC's mesoanalysis uses.

The Topeka radar (KTWX), 70 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the touchdown began at 01:19 UTC.

23 more have been surveyed in the United States that day, so far.

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. A survey can be revised, so the rating, the path and the casualties can all still change.

NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit, the record the survey teams file from the damage, and NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports. Neither is the official database for 2026, which SPC publishes in the spring of 2027.
