Survey Summary:
This tornado was likely not continuous in path and due to
extremely poor road networks or a complete lack thereof in places
surveying the entire known path was unachievable. Overall the 
tornado tracked along this route mainly doing damage to poplar, 
pine, and black spruce forests of the area. Adjustments to the 
track may be made when high resolution satellite imagery becomes 
available.

This is an update to first PNS regarding the tornadoes that 
impacted the Grygla and Gates Corner area on the evening of 
06/22/2025. After getting the chance to view high resolution 
satellite data it became evident that what was originally 
reported as one tornado was at least two separate tornadoes with 
both doing EF1 tree damage. It remains possible that more quick 
brief spin ups occurred that did lesser damage not be resolvable 
by satellite. This will be the final update to this event unless 
more information becomes available.
