The event started with an F1 that struck Arfurt in Germany, causing vegetation damage. It was followed by a strong F2 tornado in Kirchgandern, severely damaging roofs and trees in town. Shortly after, another F1 caused minor damage in the municipality of Nohra.{{cite web |title=Tornadoliste Deutschland |url=http://www.tornadoliste.de |access-date=9 February 2017 |work=tornadoliste.de}} The last tornado on 12 May was an F0 near Alten. The following day began with an F2 in France, the only confirmed tornado from this event outside of Germany. It struck the community of Gerbépal at F2 strength, damaging houses, cars and forested areas nearby. An unrated but likely strong tornado occurred in the Black Forest, where it moved down a wide swath of forest, but not hitting any buildings. The parent supercell then dropped another tornado, the strongest of the outbreak. Along its 16 km long track, it mostly affected uninhabited areas, where it cut wide paths into the forests. Trees were torn out of the ground, some debranched and partly debarked in the worst hit areas. Several large metal truss transmission towers were blown down and mangled, and nearby farm fields were scoured. The tornado hit the far southern edge of Bonndorf, where one house sustained severe roof damage and two box vans were blown over. Before dissipating, it partly destroyed an old farmhouse. This tornado was given a rating of high-end F3. One more F3 occurred later in Affing near Augsburg, where multiple homes sustained severe damage within a narrow path, and some cars were flipped and thrown short distances. {{Tornado chart small| F0 = 1| F1 = 2| F2 = 2| F3 = 2| F4 = 0| F5 = 0| Enhanced =no |FU=1}} |
