...Preliminary EF-2 Tornado Confirmed In Allamakee County, IA...

The damage survey team from National Weather Service in La Crosse
has preliminarily confirmed an EF-2 tornado in Allamakee County, 
Iowa from June 17, 2026. Significant tree damage was noted along 
its path, along with some destroyed farm outbuildings and minor 
damage to a few residences. The magnitude of damage suggests 
estimated peak wind speeds up to 115 mph, which is on the low-end 
of EF-2 tornado strength. 

The tornado touched down about 5.5 miles east-northeast of Waukon,
Iowa and continued on an east-southeast track, crossing the Mississippi
River before continuing into Crawford County, Wisconsin. Our team
will continue surveying the damage across Crawford and northeast 
Grant counties this afternoon. 

Details remain preliminary, and more information is expected to  
be released in another Public Information Statement later this 
afternoon or evening once the team concludes its survey.

...Tornado In Crawford County, WI Preliminarily Confirmed To Have 
Reached Up To EF-2 Magnitude...

The damage survey team from the National Weather Service in La 
Crosse has confirmed a tornado from June 17, 2026 crossed nearly 
the entire length of Crawford County, Wisconsin from 5 miles NW of
Eastman to near Boscobel. This tornado originally developed in 
Allamakee County, Iowa and crossed the Mississippi River before 
tracking southeast through Crawford County.

Damage along its path through Crawford County was mostly EF-0 to 
EF-1 in magnitude, consisting of nearly continual tree damage, 
significant damage to some farm outbuildings, and minor damage to 
a residence or two. A couple miles north of Eastman along Highway 
27, several snapped power poles provided evidence of a confined 
area of more intense winds reaching up to 115 mph, which is low- 
end EF-2 tornado strength.

Our team continues to survey additional damage further downstream
across northern Grant County this afternoon. 

Details remain preliminary, and more information is expected to  
be released in another Public Information Statement later this 
evening once the team concludes its survey.
