PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
616 PM EDT Thu May 14 2026

...NWS Damage Assessment for May 13th, 2026 Preston CountyTornado Event...

*A storm crossed western Preston County, West Virginia from  roughly 4:28pm
to 4:32pm on May 13th, 2026. The damage produced by this storm, surveyed by
UAS and security cameras, was determined  to be tornadic and representative
of an EF-0 with peak winds of 80 to 85 mph.*

Initial damage began along Moran Road, 3 miles east of Reedsville, WV,
where trees were snapped and a roof was blown off a restaurant. Damage was
then noted farther east where a couple
trees were snapped and uprooted within a forested area. Finally, damage
occurred at a zoo northwest of Kingwood, WV where small trees were snapped
and security cameras recorded the circulation. Visible convergence patterns
in the felled trees further confirmed the tornadic circulation.

This is a preliminary report as we await additional drone footage to
finalize the report. Special thanks to Preston County Emergency Management
officials for their aerial footage and aid with this assessment.

NOTE:
The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change
pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data.

Subject: [W8MWA] WB1AAL Stepping Back
Message-ID: <CAAoba331OdS0DXuvF_8TDfzOZJquCHxRxZ+dbQ3=EnpayH4-rA@mail.gmail.com>

Amateur radio has been my favorite hobby for many years. However, I have
decided to step back from several of my current responsibilities and wanted
to share these changes with you.

*Skywarn:*
Serving with Skywarn to help West Virginians impacted by severe weather is
incredibly rewarding. Currently, I coordinate reports from two different
Skywarn Nets while maintaining constant communication with NWS
Meteorologists, Emergency Management, and the media, all while acting as
Net Control. It's a lot for one person to handle.

*To ensure this remains manageable, we are looking for someone to step up
as the North Central WV Skywarn Net Control*. The role is not overly
complex, and prior experience as a net control or being a weather expert is
not required. The net only operates during severe weather. I will stay
involved as the North Central WV Skywarn coordinator and we will work
together to share the load.

*Weekly and Monthly Nets:*
It has been a pleasure serving as the Alternate Net Control for the Monday
Mon County ARES Net and as the Net Control for the monthly FM and SSB
Simplex nets. Please note that I will be stepping down from all three of
these positions prior to June 1, 2026.

I truly hope these nets continue to thrive, and I encourage you to consider
volunteering for any of these roles. These nets perform an important
service for our community.

I look forward to seeing you on the air.

73,

Jeff, WB1AAL

If is my pleasure to share that effective June 1, 2026, Tom Mullins, W8ZHN,
will assume the role of Net Control for the North Central West Virginia
Skywarn Net.

I will continue to serve as Skywarn Coordinator for North Central West
Virginia. I will be working behind the scenes with Tom to transmit your
storm and snowfall reports to the NWS Pittsburgh.

Many thanks to Tom for stepping up! His participation will allow your
reports to be received by the NWS more quickly and accurately. This will
benefit the folks in our counties and make the North Central West Virginia
Skywarn Net even better!
