Event & radar context

Belgium’s Royal Meteorological Institute confirms this tornado through eyewitness imagery and Wideumont radar observations. Its article does not assign a damage rating to Houffalize; the EF2 mentioned there applies to Beauraing on 19 June. This sequence uses observed radar-derived rainfall from DWD RADKLIM over Belgium. It shows the parent storm, not a measurement of tornado winds.

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.
