NOAA's Storm Events database, which records damage and casualties, runs through July 31, 2026. NCEI adds each month about three to four months after it ends; this day will show here then.
NWS Tornado Damage Surveys for October 13, 2026
National Weather Service survey teams mapped 1 tornado path from this storm day (1 EF0), 2 miles in all. The map above draws each surveyed path as the NWS mapped it, colored by the EF rating of each stretch, in place of the straight start-to-end line.
| Rating | Peak wind | Path length | Max width | Deaths / injuries | On the ground | Surveyed by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EF0 | 85 mph | 1.5 mi | 50 yd | 0 / 0 | 22:25–22:30 UTC | NWS Grand Junction |
