2025 Troy, Kansas-Falls City, Nebraska tornado

On the morning of September 3, 2025, a cold front moved through Southeastern Nebraska, Northeastern Kansas, and Northwestern Missouri. An enhanced risk of severe weather was issued early that morning, and by early afternoon, a high risk had been issued. At 2:43 PM, a small supercell thunderstorm formed in Jefferson City, Missouri. It moved Northeast at 70 mph and soon became tornado- warned just outside of St. Josheph. Multiple funnel cloud sightings were reported to the National Weather  Service as the storm moved into the western edge of St. Josheph. A tornado soon formed on the outskirts of the town and began snapping trees and damaging roofs at EF1 intensity. It then crossed the Missouri-Kansas border and neared the town of Troy. It quickly intensified to a low-end EF3 and produced major damage as it entered Troy. A tornado emergency was issued by then; it was a mile wide. As it intensified to an EF4, became so large that it was unrecognizable. Winds were nearly 200 MPH at its base. It completely leveled a neighborhood on East Locust street and obliterated Troy Fast Lane and continued into Nebraska, gaining EF5 strength. It traveled into Falls City and absolutely destroyed the community. It became so powerful that the entire Community Medical Center hospital was leveled and swept clean of debris.
