Event & radar context

Timing follows the NWS annual tornado table, which uses CST year-round; local times here are converted to CDT. Individual tornadoes from this outbreak have separate entries.

Interpreting the rating

F, EF and IF are different damage-rating scales. Original source labels are preserved. Badge colours group the numerical categories for browsing; they do not imply identical wind thresholds. Radar products do not directly establish the damage rating.
