NOTE: This article is under construction. The 2021 Ashley-Walcott tornado was an extremely powerful and fast-moving EF5 tornado which devastated much of southeastern North Dakota in the evening of June 10, 2021. Part of a larger outbreak that spawned 151 tornadoes between June 9 and June 13, the tornado covered a distance of 148 miles in its 90 minute existence. Its peak forward speed exceeded 81 miles per hour, making it the fastest-moving tornado to be rated EF3 or higher in recorded history. Probes deployed by a Tornado Intercept Vehicle recorded 10-second sustained winds of 304 miles per hour at 7:14 PM; at the time, these were the highest winds ever recorded on Earth. The Ashely-Walcott tornado's record would be broken in 2023 and twice in 2024.
