| A very weak tornado touched down in the northern part of Concarneau in Finistère. It uprooted and snapped numerous small trees, and large limbs of both coniferous and deciduous trees were split or torn. Three telephone poles were sheared through, and two garden shed roofs were torn off, with one of those roofs thrown about 200 m (220 yd) from its original position. The damage was limited and primarily affected vegetation and lightweight structures along the tornado’s short path through the northern outskirts of Concarneau.[4] This tornado was rated EF0 by KERAUNOS.[7] |

500 m (550 yd) |
| This strong, long-track tornado moved across the Calvados and Eure départements in Normandy, producing damage over a lengthy and continuous path. The tornado first touched down southwest of Lisieux, where minor damage occurred, including broken tree branches, small trees uprooted, garden furniture displaced, roof tiles and slates dislodged, shed roofing torn away, and electrical poles knocked over by falling branches. As it moved northward, this pattern of light but consistent damage continued, with debris and tree fall directions indicating a well-defined damage corridor. From Coquainvilliers northward, the tornado strengthened, causing larger and sometimes centuries-old trees to be uprooted or snapped, orchards heavily damaged, wooden utility poles broken, and roofs increasingly damaged, with occasional brief lulls of its strength. The damage corridor widened with clear convergent damage signatures along the edges. Near Beuzeville, the tornado briefly intensified in strength and reached its peak width. In this area, numerous trees were uprooted or broken, roofs were torn off, and small buildings were damaged or partially collapsed. A residential home suffered major structural failure, with walls collapsing and the roof torn apart above the ceiling, largely due to failure of wooden framing and anchoring. The tornado crossed the A13, scattering branches onto the roadway, then passed through an industrial area where dozens of semi-trailers were tipped over or rolled, and the roof of a vehicle inspection building was partially blown off. Beyond this area, the tornado weakened back, though it remained broad. Along its continued path, a chip shop was lifted, a bungalow was rolled onto its roof, a tractor unit was overturned, and vegetation damage remained widespread. The tornado weakened further, producing tree damage, torn metal sheets, and light structural impacts before dissipating near the A131 close to Quillebeuf-sur-Seine.[4] This tornado was rated EF2 by KERAUNOS.[8] |

100 m (110 yd) |
| A tornado began in the Seine river valley initially causing damage by tearing branches from willows and poplars, followed by uprooting small trees and snapping large limbs as the tornado crossed the river and moved into Muids. The tornado briefly strengthened in Muids, where roof tiles were blown off homes and a section of sheet roofing was torn from a school canteen roof and carried about 40 m (44 yd). As it continued northeast, additional tiles were removed from a residence and tree damage persisted while the tornado climbed the northern slope of the Seine Valley, where numerous branches were torn off and some trees were knocked down, aided by steep terrain. The tornado appeared to pass just over La Roquette with little to no visible damage, then crossed open farmland before entering a wooded ravine where larger branches were split or broken. Beyond this area, damage became scattered and non-convergent, and no clear tornado track could be confirmed farther northeast.[4] This tornado was rated EF1 by KERAUNOS.[9] |

| A strong waterspout moved ashore on the east side of Barton on Sea and became a tornado, producing sporadic light damage immediately near landfall, including roof tile damage to a house and a snapped tree. As the tornado moved inland across open ground and woodland, damage became more pronounced, with numerous tree branches snapped, trees twisted, and several trees felled, forming a clear but narrow damage corridor. The tornado intensified as it struck a farm, with a well-defined debris swath crossing fields, containing corrugated metal sheets, asbestos roofing fragments, and other building materials thrown up to 200 m (220 yd). Multiple barns suffered major roof loss, one barn experienced collapse of a brick wall, and another lost most of its roofing, while a telegraph pole was snapped and a brick wall was knocked down. Debris throw directions varied over short distances, indicating complex or multiple vortices, and nearby trees sustained severe snapping, marking the strongest damage along the track. Beyond this area, the tornado caused roof damage to garages and houses, felled or heavily damaged trees, and additional utility damage, though overall intensity fluctuated. Farther inland, greenhouses and polytunnels were severely damaged or destroyed, with glass scattered widely, metal frames twisted, and power lines brought down, including debris that gouged into a metal shed door. As the tornado crossed extensive woodland and heathland, damage became more intermittent but still included felled and topped trees, localized pockets of stronger tree damage, and multidirectional debris patterns suggesting brief embedded vortices. The tornado gradually weakened, producing light, scattered tree damage toward the northern end of its path before dissipating, with no clear structural damage beyond the final wooded areas.[4] This tornado was rated T4 by TORRO.[10] |

110 m (120 yd) |
| A tornado began just north of Fair Oak, where only isolated twig and small branch damage was observed. As it moved into Horton Heath and toward nearby woodland, scattered tree damage continued, with snapped branches and minor impacts along a narrow damage path consistent with a weak vortex. South of the B2177, damage became more organized as a strip of maize was flattened while tree crowns were stripped and additional trees were damaged nearby. A large oak tree snapped several meters above the ground, and its fall partially demolished an outbuilding, while roof tiles were torn from a newly built structure and carried northward, indicating strengthening winds and cyclonic debris motion. North of the B2177, damage intensified at several rural properties where large, anchored stable buildings were lifted and thrown, some landing over 100 m (110 yd) away, destroying fencing and structures in their path. Numerous mature trees were felled or badly damaged, though nearby houses and brick buildings were left largely untouched, showing sharp variations in damage intensity across the path. As the tornado continued northward, trees along the track were snapped or uprooted, and video evidence confirmed a condensation funnel on the ground, though structural damage in this section was more limited. At Marwell Zoo, the tornado caused oak trees to fall across a car park, lamp posts to bend, and signposts to snap, with debris thrown northward and at least one vehicle sustaining a shattered windscreen. In Horsham Copse north of the zoo, the tornado produced widespread tree damage along a linear, rotating path, including snapped oak trees up to a meter in diameter. Farther north near Boyes Copse, damage weakened to minor treetop impacts, suggesting the tornado was dissipating near the end of its track.[4] This tornado was rated T2/T3 by TORRO.[11] |

| This short-lived tornado produced a narrow damage consisting entirely of minor tree damage. Trees were knocked down in varying directions, including some falling northward in a cyclonic pattern while others fell parallel to the track, with branches scattered across the area. No significant structural damage was observed, and the impacts were confined mainly to light vegetation damage before the tornado dissipated.[4] This tornado was rated T4 by TORRO.[10] |

| This strong, long-track tornado began near Bosquentin, where trees were uprooted, roofs were damaged, and wooden power poles were broken, marking the northwestern edge of the damage path. As the tornado widened and moved toward the Lyons Forest, it snapped and uprooted even sturdy trees, with branch throw increasing across a corridor while peripheral roof damage was noted well outside the core path. The tornado then entered the Seine-Maritime department, tearing metal sheets from farm buildings and causing severe forest damage with trees broken or uprooted, followed by lighter damage on nearby plateaus where shed roofing was removed. Farther north, branches were torn off and roof tiles blown away, during which the tornado briefly weakened. Crossing the D915 and the Epte, the tornado struck Ferrières-en-Bray, where house roofs were partially removed, industrial hangar roofs were torn away, a truck trailer was overturned, and trees were uprooted. The tornado continued northeast across the D930, producing snapped concrete power poles, scattered debris, and roof damage, before entering the Oise department. Across rural areas and woodlands, fields, meadows, and forests sustained widespread damage, with trees uprooted or broken and roofing materials blown off, while peripheral wind damage again affected areas well outside the main corridor. Near Songeons, terrain effects briefly intensified the tornado, causing severe structural damage, downed power infrastructure, roofs torn from homes and businesses, and extensive debris scatter, injuring a child struck by flying debris. The tornado then weakened temporarily before strengthening again as it crossed Gaudechart, where roofs were torn off, garage doors ripped away, trees uprooted, a barn was destroyed, and prefabricated school buildings were blown apart, with strong damage observed in the most affected areas. Beyond Gaudechart, the tornado weakened, though hangar roofs, house roofs, and trees were damaged in nearby communities, forcing closures along the D151 and later the D124 due to fallen trees and power lines. After crossing into the Somme department, the tornado intensified again through Belleuse and Conty, where numerous roofs were damaged or removed, large trees were uprooted, vehicles were displaced, utility poles were bent, and public buildings suffered severe roof loss. In Tilloy-lès-Conty, farm buildings were largely demolished, historic structures lost roofing, perimeter walls collapsed, and large trees snapped, before the tornado finally weakened north of the D210, where it flattened stands of trees over a narrowing corridor.[4][1] |

200 m (220 yd) |
| This tornado quickly developed, producing a clearly traceable but mostly light damage path. For several kilometers the tornado remained weak, marked by fallen oak branches, snapped limbs, and occasional trees toppled. As the tornado approached the Ashley area, tree damage became more frequent and organized, with multiple mature trees felled and branches thrown eastward, though the path remained relatively narrow. Near Up Somborne, the tornado strengthened sharply, destroying beehives, glasshouses, and a well-anchored polytunnel, while large tree tops were snapped and lofted tens of meters, debris was driven into the ground, and orchards suffered catastrophic losses. Nearby farms experienced extensive tree loss, buckled barn doors, minor roof damage, and snapped telegraph poles, cutting phone and internet service, with debris thrown well off the main axis. North of this area, damage gradually weakened, though a continuous trail of felled and damaged trees remained visible across farmland. Beyond the A30, the tornado narrowed again, producing light hedge and tree damage in exposed countryside. Farther north through Bransbury and Longparish, damage documented included felled trees, roof tile loss, and shed roof damage, with a more concentrated corridor of damage within a broader area of storm impacts. Near Hurstbourne Priors, the tornado produced significant damage, including snapped and felled trees, before weakening again. Along the B3048, a clearer damage swath showed trees snapped at height and falling northward. The tornado ended near St Mary’s Hill, where only minor roof tile loss and small branch damage were found, marking dissipation of the circulation.[4] This tornado was rated T3 by TORRO.[10] |

100 m (110 yd) |
| A tornado moved through the Querrieu area, crossing the Amiens Golf Club, where it uprooted or snapped numerous trees, including birch, ash, willow, and oak, with damage patterns showing clear convergent and asymmetric debris fall typical of a fast-moving vortex. The core circulation passed across the golf course access area, parking lot, and nearby fairways and shifted slightly eastward. Tree damage remained continuous along the D929 and into the Querrieu Forest, then intensified again in the Corneillers Valley, where tall trees were snapped at the northwestern edge of the path and trees along the southeastern side were blown down toward the north or north-northeast, confirming strong rotational winds. Farther east, additional vegetation damage occurred in nearby communities as outflow winds spread away from the main circulation. In Fréchencourt, particularly in low-lying marsh areas, poplar trees were severed near the base, while trees on slightly higher ground suffered broken branches or partial uprooting, indicating weaker winds outside the core. Near Béhencourt, the tornado weakened with damage limited almost entirely to trees and branches. Rows of trees were lightly damaged and branches were torn off in rural areas before the tornado dissipated.[4][1] |

500 m (550 yd) |
| A tornado began near Écourt-Saint-Quentin, initially causing minor vegetation damage and slight roof damage to a few houses with clear convergent tree fall patterns as it crossed the Sensée marshes, where willows and poplars were uprooted. Entering the Nord department, the tornado intensified while moving into Arleux, uprooting trees, damaging roofs. The most severe damage in Arleux occurred near the SNCF railway line between Douai and Cambrai, where fallen branches halted a train, and in a nearby housing estate where sections of roofs were blown off, garage roofs and doors were torn away, debris shattered vehicle glass, and a parked car was pushed several meters. Continuing northeast toward the D643, the tornado crossed wooded areas with a broad damage corridor and was filmed as a rain-wrapped circulation, blowing down signage and producing dangerous airborne debris. In Erchin, damage concentrated in the northern part of town, where roofs were partially removed, fences torn down, trees uprooted, and power poles knocked over, causing outages, with roof damage observed well outside the core path. The tornado then struck Masny, heavily impacting the Champ Fleuri housing estate, where flat-roofed homes lost large roof sections, garage roofs and doors were torn away, and numerous public buildings sustained damage. After crossing the D645, the tornado weakened gradually through Écaillon and toward Rieulay, producing weak damage including partial roof loss, uprooted trees, broken large branches, displaced garden furniture, and damage to a horticultural business. The tornado continued to weaken with fallen trees generally oriented toward the north or northeast becoming less common. The tornado affected areas on both sides of the D13 before finally lifting, ending its path with mainly vegetation damage.[4][1] |

| This tornado began near Mortagne-du-Nord, where trees were damaged near the confluence of the Scarpe and Scheldt rivers, then widened significantly as it moved toward Flines-lès-Mortagne, producing broken willow and poplar branches and other light vegetation damage across a broad corridor dominated by strong winds. Continuing toward Legies and Rouillon, trees were uprooted, minor damage occurred to houses, and power lines were torn down, briefly disrupting traffic, while eyewitnesses reported "violent" wind shaking vehicles and toppling large garden trees. The tornado entered Belgium near Callenelle, where damage intensified with trees uprooted or snapped, including rows of poplars broken at mid-height or near the base, and similar impacts near a railway line, a castle park, and agricultural land. Moving into Brasmenil, the tornado reached its peak width, causing widespread tree damage, roof loss on houses and farm sheds, and consistent debris fall toward the north or northeast. As it crossed the E42, tree branches were torn off, then in Braffe the tornado uprooted centuries-old trees, tore roofs from agricultural buildings, damaged a chapel by removing its cross, and caused roof damage to homes, with debris thrown considerable distances. Farther east along the N50, houses were damaged, trees uprooted, and electrical wires detached, before the tornado struck Willaupuis, where a very wide corridor of damage included severely damaged roofs, felled trees, and strong suction effects, even tearing structural elements from a village hall while nearby buildings were only lightly affected. Entering Vieux-Leuze, damage became more scattered and weakened, consisting mainly of stripped tree branches and isolated uprooted trees, before the circulation lost its organized, convergent damage pattern and dissipated.[4][1] |

| This tornado touched down in Rebaix, producing localized but concentrated damage that included large tree branches broken or torn off, some of which fell onto vehicles, along with minor structural impacts. As the tornado continued northeastward beyond Rebaix, intermittent vegetation damage was observed across the countryside, with trees and large limbs broken or uprooted along a narrow and discontinuous path. The circulation persisted into Bois de Lessines, where additional tree damage was documented before it weakened and lifted.[4][12] |
