The most powerful tornado on record

It was a very active period of severe weather across parts of central and western Europe last week, with several consecutive days of severe weather outbreaks from France to Benelux, Germany, Poland, Austria, and also the Czech Republic.

This tornado is the first that hit the Czech Republic since 2018 and is also the strongest and the deadliest severe weather event in Europe so far this year. Hodonin tornado is the deadliest tornado in Europe since June 11th, 2001 (Brusilov, Ukraine).

Severe tornado damage was also reported in Moravská Nová Ves, Mikulčice, and several other locations along the tornado path.
