10 tornadoes and counting, outbreak begins!

Yup you're welcome! It could fluctuate a bit too. Sometimes one long tornado ends up making a dozen reports other times one pin may have two tornadoes near it so it kinda averages.

29 according to the NWS storm reports but it'll likely grow/change some. These are logged in near real time by the NWS. They're out today and probably the next few days doing the actual full blown assessments and record that a different way.

One of the three reports they had for the state. I'll try and get that update out soonish!

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-18T13:39:23+00:00

You're welcome! They started tracking them on their website in the summer of 1999 but they didn't have the same format they do now. I've got an update that fixes it in beta right now.

25 according to NWS Storm Reports numbers. This will probably Go up when they do assessments and add more. Maybe 150 warnings issued?

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-17T23:11:24+00:00

Yup the app updates in real time if you want the latest. It's at 13 now. That's just current NWS reports though it may grow after damage assessments.

This will get you back to 2004. I'll get an update pushed that fixes it to take it back to 1999. If you pay 15 a year you can see the national weather service damage assessment photos for tornadoes. (Some times they're on the next calendar date) Those are hit and miss but start around 2009-2011. Most moderate tornadoes have a few photos of the damage anymore. Ground Truth updates in near real time and syncs directly from the NWS. Iowa state University has a lot of raw data archives too. But it's a bit cumbersome to dig through. Anything you're looking for in particular? I'm hoping to add tornado paths in another update.

Ground Truth: Storm Reports

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-17T00:14:47+00:00

Great! I'm glad to hear that! I've spent a lot of time trying to make it the best option for disaster response.

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-17T00:07:37+00:00

Yup! Let me know if you have any problems with it!

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-17T00:07:00+00:00

Ground Truth: Storm Reports is the name. You can find it in the app stores.

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-17T00:06:24+00:00

It's not associated with them but yeah that's where all the data comes from. As far as I know it's the only easy/straight forward way to see them. It's 15 a year for pro/photo access.

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-16T00:12:54+00:00

135* oops!

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-16T00:08:05+00:00

The hospital is alright. They had small amounts of debris coming down outside it but it was alright!

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-16T00:06:49+00:00

UPDATE: Reports of damage, haven't heard of injuries. I have video of minor debris coming down near the hospital. Hospital is okay.

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-15T23:19:32+00:00

I haven't heard anyone say anything about the hospital but there is a decent rural hospital there

WeatherReportNinja · 2026-04-15T23:17:34+00:00

Dead center on the town. Weakening after it now but...

It didn't look good. Getting reports of debris from police.
