| 14:03Z | EF0 | KMOB | AL | Mobile | Orchard | The tornado first touched down just west of Orchard Dr, north of Howells |Ferry Rd. It continued northeast and moved across the Princeton Woods |subdivision. After that it crossed Moffett Rd near University Ave and |came to an end. No damage was noted further east toward N University Blvd.|There were numerous large branches downed with a few uprooted softwood trees|along the path. Two homes had trees or large branches on their roofs. |
| 19:31Z | EF2 | KFFC | GA | Henry | Greenwood | An EF2 tornado with maximum winds of 135 mph quickly developed|during the afternoon hours of May 29, 2025 in Henry County. A storm which had a|history of very weak and broad rotation moved into the southern part of the county (Henry) and quickly spawned a tornado as it crossed Bethlehem Road|at approximately 3:31pm EDT. Just north of Bethlehem Road, a few|trees were downed to indicate where the tornado first touched|down. As the tornado tracked northeast, it quickly intensified to|EF1 strength, snapping and uprooting trees in a wooded region|behind several homes along Curry Ridge in the Laurel Creek|Subdivision. The tornado reached maximum intensity as it reached|Fresh Laurel Lane in the subdivision. Several homes sustained EF1|damage near the end of the road including significant loss of|siding and shingles, windows blown out, and in one instance,|partial collapse of the roof/wall structure. The last home along|the street is where the tornado reached maximum intensity of EF2.|The home was completely destroyed with the exception of a small|interior closet on the first floor where the clothes were still|hanging. Both occupants of the home were injured, one critically|when he was thrown 287 feet from the house into the nearby woods|according to Henry County EMA. The home demonstrated strength in|the construction with attached baseboards including the use of|clips, however the failure point was in the wall attachment where|the wall studs were only nailed into the baseplate. While a high|end EF2 tornado is determined for this point, there was not enough|evidence to support a higher rating of EF3. Debris was thrown|hundreds of yards to the east and the northeast from the home|including significant portions of the roof, clothing, and a metal|pipe used in A/C unit. To the northeast of the destroyed home, all|the trees that remained in a field being cleared were snapped and|uprooted consistent with high end EF1 and low end EF2 damage. The|tornado continued to the Northeast crossing Academic Parkway|through an apartment complex where EF0 to low end EF1 damage was|noted to the trees and buildings in the area. The tornado then|crossed Interstate 75 at approximately 3:34PM per numerous cell|phone video of the tornado. Trees were downed on the southbound|lane of I75. As the tornado approached Hwy 42, there were several|uprooted trees on the back of an industrial building and a few|trees snapped in the front. The tornado crossed Hwy 42 and began |to weaken with only minor tree damage noted in and around a large |industrial building. The tornado lifted as it crossed Distribution|Drive where small branches and leaf debris was noted. Both radar |and ground truth confirm that the tornado had significantly |weakened as it reached Distribution Drive. The tornado was very |short lived and only on the ground for 1.8 miles and 5 minutes, |but demonstrated how quickly a strong tornado can develop. |
| 20:53Z | EF0 | KJAX | FL | St. Johns | Sampson Church | Around 4:53 PM EDT, an EF0 tornado touched down at the Cimarrone |Golf Club in St. Johns County, FL along Seneca Dr and Sequoyah |Cir. As the tornado trekked northeastward across portions of the |golf course, it snapped large branches off softwood and hardwood |trees. The tornado overturned a storage shed and scattered its |contents before continuing across a wooded area and causing a few |trees to become slanted. The tornado emerged from the wooded area |along the St. Johns PKWY and SR-9B interchange, finally |dissipating over a retention pond along SR-9B. |
| 23:09Z | EF1 | KLBB | TX | Dawson | Punkin Center | A dusty tornado was reported west of Highway 137, northwest of Lamesa. Damage was surveyed at a home, with the awning and trees being damaged. This tornado had an estimated wind speed of 100 MPH and was rated EF-1. Open fields along the estimated tornado path limited the details of the tornado track. The tornado track and time of occurrence is radar estimated. The cost of damages is also estimated. |
| 23:46Z | EF1 | KMAF | TX | Dawson | Sparenburg | This was the estimated path of a brief tornado in the vicinity of Sparenberg to the southeast of Lamesa. Irrigation pivots were found lying towards the southeast. This was estimated to have been due to wind speeds of approximately 90 MPH. This tornado is rated EF-1. Open dirt fields in the vicinity did not allow for further survey damage. The time of occurrence is radar estimated. The cost of damages is also estimated. |
| 02:31Z | EFU | KDYX | TX | Coleman | Glen Cove | A storm chaser posted a video on social media of a night-time tornado south of Novice in the same location where there was a possible tornado indicated on radar. Tornado lasted from 9:31 pm to 9:37 pm according to the storm chaser. |
| 10:49Z | EF2 | KLVX | KY | Washington | Pottsville | An NWS damage survey team determined that an EF2 tornado with peak winds of 125 mph, maximum width of 450 yards, and track length of 5.55 miles initially touched down on the morning of Friday, May 30th in southeastern Washington County, Kentucky. ||The tornado touched down on a ridgetop near the|intersection of Coyle Lane and Long Run Road, initially snapping|and twisting some hardwood trees, and throwing a chicken cage|almost a quarter mile to the northeast of the path. From there, the|tornado quickly intensified into solid EF-2 strength as a vortex|within the parent circulation produced a third of a mile long|swath of intense damage starting only about 100-200 yards from|the touchdown point. Here, a well built barn with living quarters|was completely swept off the concrete foundation and thrown into|the valley below. Sill plates were anchored to the concrete|foundation, so construction was good, however three large overhead|doors likely contributed to the demise of the structure as they|faced the direction of the tornado path directly. Eyewitness|accounts from inside the structure said the overhead doors caved|inward first, and then the whole building went. Several occupants|were thrown into the valley below among the debris, but|miraculously survived.||From there, the intense EF2 vortex traveled east-northeast across Long Run|Road and completely destroyed another structure/home just to the |east of the road. Here, debris from the complete destruction of |the home was thrown about 75 yards directly to the north of the |path into a ravine. Sadly, one occupant of the home was killed, |with at least two others injured. The foundation of this structure|was on cinder blocks, with quite a bit of open space beneath the |floor. Peak winds reached 125 mph for both of these structures, |with broader EF1 damage noted on either side of the path. Peak |width was right at a quarter of a mile, or roughly 450 yards here |before the tornado narrowed considerably and weakened.||EF1 strength winds continued along and just north of Long Run |Road as the tornado traveled ESE toward the Boyle County line. |
| 10:53Z | EF1 | KLVX | KY | Boyle | Craintown | An NWS damage survey team determined that an EF2 tornado with peak winds of 125 mph, maximum width of 450 yards, and track length of 5.55 miles initially touched down on the morning of Friday, May 30th in southeastern Washington County, Kentucky.||As the tornado crossed into Boyle County, some hardwoods were noted to be snapped north of Cocanougher Road,|and again in a grove of trees north of White Road. The final |damage point was noted along Battlefield Road about 1.25 miles NNW|of Perryville, were some hardwoods were uprooted and softwoods |were snapped. From here the tornado lifted. |
| 11:22Z | EF1 | KLVX | KY | Mercer | Burgin | The National Weather Service completed a storm survey and|determined that an EF1, 100 mph tornado occurred just north of|Burgin in Mercer County Friday morning, May 30th, 2025. Damage was first|observed along Handy Lane where several trees had been topped. The damage continued along Handy Lane where a|house had some outbuilding damage and a garage door was blown in.| Some healthy trees also had extensive very large branches|snapped. Maximum wind speeds along Handy Lane were estimated to|be at 100 mph, EF1 strength.||The tornado continued across Shakertown Road and damage |was observed along Ison Lane where trees were uprooted and a barn |roof was blown off. The tornado continued across farmland before |additional damage was observed to trees with large branches |snapped along Hogue Lane. Estimated maximum wind speeds along |this portion was EF1, 95 mph strength. No additional damage was |observed beyond Hogue Lane. |
