It also downed many trees along its 20-kilometre (12-mile) path.^[2] No injuries were reported, but more than 100 firefighters were called in to assist in clearing debris, including on several lanes of the A63 autoroute that were closed after trees blocked the road.^[19]

On the morning of February 19, the Storm Prediction Center issued an enhanced risk for severe weather due to the overlap of unseasonably rich moisture with a pronounced low-pressure system over southern Illinois and southern Indiana, resulting in a chance for strong EF2+ tornadoes.^[20] During the evening hours, several tornadoes touched down across the Ohio River Valley. A high-end EF1 tornado in Crawford County, Illinois damaged 12–15 homes and injured multiple people.^[21][22] One mobile home was rolled over by the tornado, trapping a woman inside.^[23] An EF2 tornado in Bloomington, Indiana prompted a "particularly dangerous situation" tornado warning for the city, with widespread damage being reported.^[24][25][26] Both damaging tornadoes were produced by the same cyclic supercell, which tracked more than 150 miles through the risk area. The storm system also led to two fatalities in Nebraska due to a car crash from the wintry conditions it brought.^[27]

A small but significant and deadly tornado outbreak occurred between March 5–7, fueled by a large storm system. During the evening hours of March 5, a supercell tracked for several hours through northwestern Oklahoma into Kansas, producing multiple tornadoes. A mother and daughter were killed in Major County, Oklahoma when the first significant tornado, rated EF2, touched down west of Fairview. The intense winds struck their vehicle as they were driving near US 60, throwing their car into a nearby field.^[28] Just a few minutes after the first tornado lifted, an EF1 tornado touched down and moved northwest of Cleo Springs. It was followed by another long-tracked EF2 tornado that prompted multiple PDS tornado warnings, and caused damage near Jet and Helena. An EF1 tornado also impacted areas near Wakita later that night. Elsewhere, trees were downed, and homes and power lines were damaged.^[29][8] Two EF1 tornadoes were reported in southern Kansas east of Bluff City.^[26] The next day, an isolated supercell produced four tornadoes in Michigan,^[30] with an EF1 tornado tracking over 13 miles in Cass County, causing one fatality after the front of a home was destroyed.

A strong EF2 tornado hit Three Rivers, Michigan, prompting a PDS tornado warning. The tornado injured 10 people and caused significant damage to numerous businesses, including at a Menards.^[31][32] The cyclic supercell continued moving to the east-northeast and produced a destructive high-end EF3 tornado near Union City, Michigan, killing three people and injuring 12 others.^[33][34] The worst damage occurred near Union Lake, where a couple of homes were swept off their foundations. Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a state of emergency in Branch, St. Joseph, and Cass counties to coordinate an all-hands-on-deck response to the severe weather.^[35] Back in Oklahoma, several tornadoes were reported in the east central and northeastern parts of the state.^[36] A powerful EF2 tornado tore through communities north of Tulsa and two people were killed after a low-end EF3 tornado struck the city of Beggs, which damaged multiple homes and businesses as well.^[37] Tornadic activity continued overnight, spreading into Texas and Arkansas.^[38] A low-end EF2 tornado struck near Prospect in Marion County, Texas, injuring two people.^[39] A mid-range EF2 tornado touched down near Willisville, Arkansas which damaged trees, lofted and destroyed a trailer and left one person injured.^[40]

Overall, 32 tornadoes were confirmed during the outbreak, along with eight fatalities and 29 injuries.^[26] According to federal weather officials, neither a tornado watch nor a severe thunderstorm watch was put into effect in Michigan during the outbreak due to the storm being primarily concentrated in a small three-county area, which made it difficult to detect in advance; the highest risk level on that day in the area was also only a Level 1 Marginal risk.^[41] Governor Whitmer's office called for a probe into the absence of a tornado watch alert and questioned if it could be attributed to President Donald Trump's funding cutbacks to the National Weather Service.^[42]

Another significant tornado outbreak occurred across much of the central United States, highlighted by a moderate risk for severe weather for parts of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana.^[43] Tornado watches were issued from Texas to Indiana during the late afternoon and early evening due to the risk of severe weather.^[44][45] A large and long-tracked EF3^[46] tornado passed through the southern portions of Kankakee, Illinois and the suburb of Aroma Park, damaging over 500 buildings and killing one person, before crossing into Indiana and striking Lake Village, where it caused two fatalities and damaged an additional 106 buildings.^[26][47][48] The supercell also produced potentially record-breaking hail, with reports of 5–6-inch (13–15 cm) hailstones in the Kankakee area, which, if confirmed, would break the former Illinois state record of 4.75-inch (12.1 cm) diameter hail.^[49][50]

The supercell continued producing tornadoes, including a large EF1 tornado near Wheatfield, Indiana that caused three injuries,^[46] and an EF2 tornado which had a tornado emergency issued for it in Knox, Indiana.^[51][52][26] Tornadic activity continued overnight further south as a strongly forced QLCS pushed its way off to the east.^[53] In addition to the tornadoes, a group of hailstorms impacted parts of the Kansas City metropolitan area, producing baseball-sized hailstones in Parkville, Missouri.^[54] Overall, 106 tornadoes were confirmed during the outbreak, along with three fatalities and 16 injuries.^[26]

On the afternoon of March 15, an EF2^[56] tornado struck parts of the Mayurbhanj district in Odisha, eastern India, causing significant damage. More than 100 homes were damaged, many of them traditional mud-and-thatch structures. Roofs were flattened, and debris was scattered across the area in Kia village, Karanjia. Strong winds knocked down electric poles, uprooted large trees, cut power, blocked roads in several locations, and swept vehicles off the road. Two people were killed, and at least 29 others were injured, including six critically.^[57][58][59]

A tornado struck Hilvan in Şanlıurfa Province, causing heavy damage, including ripping the roof off of multiple houses and downing trees in the area. The tornado was rated IF1.5 and injured two people.^[2][60]

The tornado injured one person and impacted around 100 structures, with 50 being significantly damaged.^[65][66][26] An EF1 tornado tracked just south of Mound City and Pleasanton, Kansas, with two people being injured after a mobile home was destroyed.^[26] Following these tornadoes in Kansas, Representative Sharice Davids sent a letter to the National Weather Service over concerns of missing data due to skipped weather balloon launches. Davids stated that the storms in Kansas revealed gaps in the National Weather Services's forecasting and warning operations and that tornado watches went out later than usual.^[67]

On April 14, tornado activity resumed as another round of tornadoes took place across Iowa and Wisconsin. A low-end EF3 tornado tracked just north of Union Center, Wisconsin, inflicting significant damage to outbuildings and trees, with one home being damaged at EF3 intensity.^[68][26] Later that day, an EF2 tornado impacted areas near Sussex, Wisconsin, causing roof damage to several structures, including one which completely lost its roof on its southern side.
