🚨 TORNADO EMERGENCIES — RARE & SERIOUS

Prior to tonight, only 8 Tornado Emergencies have ever been issued by the NWS office in Norman, Oklahoma.

These are not routine warnings, they are reserved for confirmed, catastrophic tornadoes impacting populated areas.

📍 From the historic May 3, 1999 Moore F5 to the May 20, 2013 EF5, to the massive El Reno tornado of 2013…

Each of these events represents some of the most extreme weather in Oklahoma history.

⚠️ A Tornado Emergency means:

Severe weather season is just around the corner but the Midwest is getting an early start this year! Attached is a graphic we’ve made after some general consensus amongst team members for areas within Illinois and Indiana that have a strong likelihood of seeing severe weather on February 19th, 2026.

Storms seem to start around 12:00 pm EST (11:00 am CST) near St. Claire County, IL. As the storm tracks east the intensity and likelihood of severe weather increases. This is especially true around the Edgar County, IL and Vigo County, IN and surrounding counties area from roughly 2:00 pm EST (1:00 pm CST) through about 4:00 pm EST (3:00 pm CST). Once storms reach around Delaware County, Indiana at about 6:00 pm EST (5:00 pm CST) the likelihood of severe weather continuing is diminished. Storms WILL still be ongoing but the chances of severe weather continuing beyond this point seems low at this time.

Now is the time to prepare! Here’s a few tips to keep yourself and your loved ones safe:
- Don’t recognize where you’d be on this map? Pull up your favorite map app and search what county you live in.
- Prepare a “go bag” that is packed with essentials such as dry goods, bottled water, flashlight, first aid kit, change of clothes, and important documents,
- Have multiple ways to receive warnings! If able, purchase a Midland Weather Radio and make sure to program it to your area.

Stay weather aware friends!

Some scenes out of Kalamazoo County in Southwest Michigan today during an intense lake effect snow band around 4:30 pm EST captured by one of our team members, Carlton Thompson. Thankfully there were not as many accidents today as there was a few days ago on this stretch of highway but Carlton reported several slide offs this morning along US-131. You can see a county snow plow missed the turnaround and wound up in the ditch, likely due to not being able to distinguish where the ledges were located due to the heavy snowfall or hitting a patch of black ice.

Scenes like this are a good reminder to always practice several key things when expecting to travel in winter conditions:

- Give yourself more space than you normally would between you and the vehicle in front of you
- Reduce your speed to allow for more time to stop should you need to stop suddenly
- Make sure you have a full tank of gas and pack a winter survival kit in the event you get stranded
- Anticipate travel delays and allow yourself the opportunity to take extra time so you don’t have to rush
- MOVE OVER AND SLOW DOWN for all emergency services and tow trucks allowing ample space for them to render aid
