Tornadoes, by their rating
Every tornado an office of the weather service rated in its damage survey, on the Enhanced Fujita scale, as its latest survey gives it: where and when it began, its strongest winds, the length and width of its path, the people it killed and hurt, and the warning in force where it began.
No tornado of 2026 has been rated in a survey the record has read.
Hurricanes and tropical storms, by the category each reached
Every tropical storm and hurricane the National Hurricane Center tracked in 2026 in the Atlantic, the Gulf of America, the Caribbean and the eastern and central Pacific, by the strongest it became on the Saffir-Simpson scale; each a door to its own chronicle, and the season to its own page.
