*The outbreak had multiple days of 100+ tornadoes.

The 2018 Super Outbreak was the most prolific tornado outbreak in history. It produced a whopping 782 tornadoes, with 375 of those in a single 24-hour period on May 2, including 35 EF4 and 4 EF5 tornadoes. A whopping 27,996 deaths occurred in that outbreak, of which 27,832 were tornado related. The outbreak helped smash the record for most tornadoes in the month of May with 1,951 tornadoes, over triple the prior record (542 in May 2003). The prior record for overall tornadoes in a single month was in April 2011 when a whopping 770 tornadoes touched down, thanks to the 2011 Super Outbreak.

The 2011 Super Outbreak was the 2nd most prolific tornado outbreak in history. It produced 360 tornadoes, with 216 of those in a single 24-hour period on April 27, including 11 EF4 and 4 EF5 tornadoes. 348 deaths occurred in that outbreak, of which 324 were tornado related. The outbreak helped smash the record for most tornadoes in the month of April with 770 tornadoes, almost triple the prior record (267 in April 1974). The overall record for a single month was 542 in May 2003, which was also broken until May 2018.

The infamous 1974 Super Outbreak of April 3–4, 1974, which spawned 148 confirmed tornadoes across eastern North America, held the record for the most prolific tornado outbreak for many years. Not only did it produce an exceptional number of tornadoes, but it was also an inordinately intense outbreak producing dozens of large, long-track tornadoes, including 7 F5 and 23 F4 tornadoes. More significant tornadoes occurred within 24 hours than any other week in the tornado record. Due to a secular trend in tornado reporting, the 2011 and 1974 tornado counts are not directly comparable.

The second-highest tornadic wind speeds ever recorded were measured by many DOW as an EF5 impacted areas of Vian, Oklahoma at 6:03 PM on May 15, 2019. Wind speeds of 351 mph (564 km/h) were measured roughly 90 feet (27 m) above ground level for up to 10 minutes. Wind speeds near the ground level reached between 325 and 345 mph (523 km/h and 555 km/h).

The third-highest tornadic wind speeds ever recorded were measured by a RaXPol mobile radar as an EF5 tornado impacted an industrial area between Harrisburg and Reading, Pennsylvania at 3:36 PM on May 20, 2025. Winds of 337 mph (502 km/h) were measured 150 feet (46 m) above ground level, with wind speeds of 321 mph (479 kph) recorded less than 30 feet (9 m) above ground level.

Extreme winds were also recorded in a tornado near Bridge Creek, Oklahoma on June 16, 2019; the tornado's path paralleled Interstate 35 for most of its lifespan, allowing detailed measurements to be taken. A RaXPol mobile radar recorded winds of 324 mph (521 km/h) roughly 120 feet (36 m) above ground level as the tornado passed over urban areas at 6:11 PM. Wind speeds at ground level were estimated between 260 and 305 mph (418 and 490 km/h).

Fastest-moving significant Tornadoes

The fastest-moving significant tornado ever observed was on July 18, 2018; as an EF5-rated tornado passed the city of Tushka, Oklahoma, its forward speed was clocked at over 99 mph (159 km/h) for a brief period between 1:03 and 1:04 PM. For most of its life, the tornado's forward speed was closer to 75 miles per hour. The twister is the fastest moving violent tornado and tornado ever recorded.

Also on July 18th, another EF5-rated tornado cut through the city of Broken Arrow, resulting in 121 fatalities and over 450 injuries. The tornado's forward speed was clocked at 96 mph (154 km/h) at 12:16 PM CDT, and may have exceeded 100 miles per hour over rural areas to the east of Wagoner, making it possibly the fastest-moving violent tornado in recorded history.

Officially, the widest tornado on record is the Smithville, Mississippi tornado of May 21, 2018 with a width of 2.8 miles (4.5 km) at its peak. This is the width found by the National Weather Service based on preliminary data from University of Oklahoma RaXPol mobile radar that also sampled winds of 295 mph (474 km/h) which was used to upgrade the tornado to EF5. However, it was revealed that these winds did not impact any structures, and as a result the tornado was downgraded to EF3 based on damage. However, another possible contender for the widest tornado as measured by radar was the F4 Mulhall tornado in north-central Oklahoma which occurred during the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak. The diameter of the maximum winds (over 110 mph (49 m/s)) was over 5,200 feet (1,600 m) as measured by a DOW radar. Although the tornado passed largely over rural terrain, the width of the wind swath capable of producing damage was as wide as 4 mi (6.4 km).

The EF3 El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013 with a width of 2.6 miles (4.2 km) at its peak. A similar size tornado struck Edmonson, Texas on May 31, 1968, when a damage path width between 2 to 3 miles (3.2 to 4.8 km) was recorded from an F3 tornado.

In addition, the EF5 Bridge Creek-Moore, Oklahoma tornado of June 16, 2019, which had an official peak width of 2.7 miles (4.3 km) at its peak. This EF5 also had winds up to 324 mph (521 km/h). Some believe the tornado reached a peak width between 2.9 and 5.1 miles wide (4.6 and 8.2 km).

Longest-track Tornadoes

The longest-tracked single tornado in the United States of the modern radar era was the 2019 Vian, Oklahoma tornado on May 15. While touching down just east of Short and dissipating near 3 miles north of Woodward, the tornado stayed on the ground for a record 327.37-mile path and lasting 5 hours and 51 minutes. The tornado was originally rated EF4 but was then upgraded to an EF5 and killed 175 people along with 1,348 injuries.

The second longest-tracked single tornado ever recorded was the 1925 Tri-State tornado. Touching down in southeast Missouri, the tornado tracked 219 miles into Illinois and Indiana, killing a then-record 695 people. The tornado lasted for a then-record 3 hours and 37 minutes. The tornado was given an F5 rating and injured an additional 2,027 injuries.

The third longest-tracked single tornado in the modern era was the Wagarville, Alabama tornado April 22, 2037, which touched down in rural areas of Lamar County, Mississippi and dissipated near Petrey, Alabama, remaining on the ground over a 203.60-mile path and lasting for 2 hours and 54 minutes. The tornado was rated a high-end EF4 and caused a total of 12 fatalities and 249 injuries.

Longest-duration Tornadoes 

The longest-duration tornado in recorded history, adjusting for early damage surveys often marking tornado families as single, long-track tornadoes, was the 2019 Vian, Oklahoma tornado which remained on the ground for 5 hours and 51 minutes over a 322-mile path, also a record. Touching down at 5:04 PM CDT and dissipating at 10:55 PM CDT. For most of it's lifetime, the tornado fluctuated between EF3 and EF5 intensity. The tornado hit Oklahoma City head-on at EF4 to EF5 intensity. Luckily, only 175 fatalities occurred in the heavily populated areas in the state.

The second-longest duration tornado ever was the 2024 Canadian County, Oklahoma tornado, which remained on the ground for 4 hours and 24 minutes over a 102-mile path, touching down at 6:12 PM CDT on May 31, 2024, and dissipating at 10:36 PM. For most of its mature stage, the tornado fluctuated between EF2 and EF5 intensity. The tornado's curved path caused it to miss the most heavily populated areas of Oklahoma City, although a total of 84 fatalities occurred in rural and semi-urban areas.

The third-longest duration tornado ever recorded touched down on March 14, 2043, most notably damaging almost half of the city of Florence, Alabama. The tornado remained on the ground for 3 hours and 41 minutes over a 141-mile path, causing 27 fatalities, and leaving over 90 miles of continuous EF3-level damage in its wake.

Greatest pressure drop

A pressure deficit of 450 millibars (13.28 inHg) was observed when a violent tornado near El Reno, Oklahoma on May 3, 2018 passed directly over a probe that a storm chaser deployed.

On April 21, 2007, a 194-millibar (5.73 inHg) pressure deficit was reported when a tornado struck a storm chasing vehicle in De Smet, South Dakota . The tornado caused EF2 damage as it passed through De Smet. The reported pressure drop far exceeds that which would be expected based on theoretical calculations.

There is a questionable and unofficial citizen's barometer measurement of a 192-millibar (5.67 inHg) drop around Oklahoma City  in 1897.

Exceptional survivors

Longest distance carried by a tornado

Kevin Atwood of Los Angeles, California holds the record for the longest-known distance traveled by anyone picked up by a tornado and survive. On May 3, 1999, when resided in Bridge Creek, Oklahoma, he was carried 74 miles (198 km/h) to Mulhall by an F5 where another F5 picked him up and carried another 63 miles (101 km/h), according to National Weather Service measurements.

Cities with notable tornado histories

Guin, Alabama

In it's history, Guin has been hit by over half a dozen F4/EF4 or F5/EF5 tornadoes. The most notable tornadoes are the F5 that struck on April 3, 1974 and killed 28 and the EF4 that struck Guin on May 22, 2018 that killed 33.

Hackleburg, Alabama

The town of Hackleburg, Alabama has been hit by over 30 tornadoes since 1900, with 8 of them being of F4/EF4 or F5/EF5 rated tornadoes. The first major tornado struck Hackleburg on April 12, 1943, killing 4 and injuring 66 people.

This EF5 was the deadliest tornado in Alabama state history until a devastating EF5 struck the town of Phil Campbell less than 2 years later, killing 192. During the years of 2018, 2019, and 2020, Hackleburg was struck by many tornadoes, making Hackleburg a tornado magnet.

Tanner, Alabama

Tanner, a small town in northern Alabama, was hit by an F5 tornado on April 3, 1974 and was struck again 45 minutes later by a second F5 (however, the rating is disputed and it may have been high-end F4), demolishing what remained of the town. Thirty-seven years later, on April 27, 2011 (the largest and deadliest outbreak since 1974), Tanner was hit yet again by the EF5 2011 Hackleburg–Phil Campbell tornado, which produced high-end EF4 damage in the southern portion of town. The suburban community of Harvest, Alabama, just to the northeast, also sustained major impacts from all three Tanner tornadoes, and was also hit by destructive tornadoes in 1995 and 2012.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Since 1950, Tuscaloosa and its suburbs have been hit by over 100 tornadoes, with 16 of them being F4/EF4 or F5/EF5 rated tornadoes. On March 3, 1966, Tuscaloosa was hit hard by the Candlestick Park tornado, causing many deaths and fatalities. A few weak tornadoes then struck Tuscaloosa from 1967 to 1999, before an F4 struck Tuscaloosa in December 2000. During the 2011 Super Outbreak, Tuscaloosa was hit hard by a massive EF5 tornado, killing 64 people, injuring over 1,500, and causing $2.4 billion in damages. During both the 2018 and 2020 Super Outbreaks, Tuscaloosa was struck by over a dozen tornadoes, with an EF3 touching down in northern Tuscaloosa during both Super Outbreaks. On May 31, 2027, Tuscaloosa was struck by yet another EF5, killing 96, injuring over 4,600, and causing over $3.1 billion in damages.

Sierra Vista, Arizona

In recent history, Sierra Vista has had multiple destructive EF5 tornadoes strike the area. The first EF5 occurred on May 22, 2019. Killing 10,000 people, this EF5 is the third-deadliest tornado ever. In addition, over 21,000 were injured and an undisclosed amount of damage occurred. The next tornado stuck Sierra Vista on March 18, 2020. Arguably one of the most violent tornadoes ever, this EF5 killed 103 and injured over 300 more people.

Clermont, Florida

The city of Clermont in Central Florida has seen over 30 tornadoes since 1950, with 9 of them being deadly and 5 being violent. From 1950 to 2017, mostly weak tornadoes caused light damage in and around Clermont. The first major tornado occurred on May 23, 2017, when a high-end EF3 struck southeastern Clermont, killing 12 and injuring over 200 people. The areas that were struck in 2017 and rebuilt were completely destroyed less than a year later on May 2, 2018 when a large wedge, EF5-rated tornado killed thousands of people and injured thousands more. This EF5 is considered the most prolific tornadoes ever. In addition, it is the deadliest and costliest tornado ever. The next tornado struck rural Clermont on July 21, 2018. This brief EF1 damage half a dozen homes before dissipating. For an incredible 247 years straight, Clermont didn't see a major tornado until July 9, 2265 when a re-occurrence of 2018 occurred. Another large wedge EF5 struck Clermont, killing thousands of more people. Another 3 EF4's killed dozens of more people before dissipating as well.

Codell, Kansas

The small town of Codell, Kansas, was hit by a tornado on the same date (May 20) three consecutive years: 1916, 1917, and 1918. The United States has about 100,000 thunderstorms per year; less than 1% produce a tornado. The odds of this coincidence occurring again are extremely small.

Joplin, Missouri

The city of Joplin, Missouri in southwestern Missouri had a relatively small tornado history until May 22, 2011, when a EF5 multi-vortex tornado struck the southern downtown area of Joplin, killing 161 people, injuring over 1,200, and causing over $2.8 billion (2011 USD) in damages. The next devastating tornado struck Joplin on May 3, 2018, during the 2018 Super Outbreak, when another EF5 tornado struck the Joplin area, killing 3, injuring dozens of people, and causing $10 million (2018 USD) in damages. The next devastating tornado struck Joplin on the 8th year anniversary of the first EF5 on May 22, 2020, when a large wedge EF5 struck Joplin, killing 103, injuring over 980, and causing over $3.6 billion (2020 USD) in damages. While Joplin didn't have an extensive tornado history before or after the 2011-2020 span of devastating tornadoes, recent history hasn't been pleasant Joplin.

St. Louis, Missouri

The city of St. Louis, Missouri has had an extensive tornado history. Over5 dozen tornadoes have struck St. Louis since 1871. The first extensive tornado hit the city on May 27, 1896, killing 255, injuring over 1,000, an causing over $4 billion in today's money. The next extensive tornado hit the city on September 29, 1927, killing 79, injuring 550, and causing over $3 billion in today's money. While mostly weak tornadoes struck the city between 1927 and 2011, a low-end EF4 struck northern St. Louis on April 22, 2011. However, no fatalities occurred and a few injuries occurred.

Grand Island, Nebraska

The Grand Island, Nebraska area was hit by seven tornadoes in 4 hours in 1980.

Fort Rice, North Dakota

Since 1953, 3 F5/EF5 tornadoes have struck Fort Rice. The first F5/EF5 tornado struck Fort Rice, killing 2 and injuring dozens. The other two EF5 tornadoes struck the city on May 24, 2018, both killing 124 and injuring a combined over 700 people.

Antlers, Oklahoma

Antlers, located in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, has seen an extensive tornado history dating back to at least 1945. The first destructive tornado to hit Antlers occurred on April 12, 1945, where a massive F5 killed 69 and injured hundreds more. Up until 2018, Antlers was able to rebuild and function normally again until over a dozen tornadoes struck Antlers in 2018 alone, including an EF4 that killed 94 people in one of the most deadly tornadoes in the state that year.

Bridge Creek, Oklahoma

Bridge Creek, located in Grady County, Oklahoma, has seen, like Hackleburg, Alabama and El Reno, Oklahoma, a recent and destructive tornado history. On May 3, 1999, a large F5 killed 36, injured 583 and is one of the costliest tornadoes ever. On May 6, 2015, a large-wedge EF3 struck Bridge Creek, causing no deaths of fatalities, however, 25 homes were destroyed or heavily damaged. On May 3, 2018, multiple tornadoes struck Bridge Creek, causing minor to major damage to dozens of homes. On June 21 and August 3 and 4, 2018 multiple tornadoes struck Bridge Creek, causing minor to major damage to many homes. On June 16, 2019, a large-wedge EF5 struck Bridge Creek, causing 158 deaths and over 12,000 injuries. The following year during the 2020 Super Outbreak, a large-wedge EF5 struck Bridge Creek, causing 147 deaths and 368 injuries. The town Bridge Creek has seen a recent destructive and catastrophic tornado history.

El Reno, Oklahoma

Like Hackleburg, Alabama, El Reno, Oklahoma didn't have an extensive tornado history until the early 21st century. The first major tornado struck El Reno on May 24, 2011. Rated as an EF5, catastrophic damage occurred to many homes and an oil rig. In addition, 9 people were killed. The next devastating tornado struck El Reno 2 years and 7 days later on May 31, 2013, where a then-record 2.6 mile wide EF5 struck El Reno, killing 8 people, including storm chasers Tim Samaras, his son Paul, and TWISTEX team member Carl Young. Like Antlers, El Reno suffered severe damage from multiple tornadoes in 2018. The deadliest tornado in Oklahoma state history caused EF5 damage in and around around El Reno. June 21 was another severe day for tornadoes in 2018 for El Reno. Multiple significant and violent tornadoes caused damage in El Reno.

Moore, Oklahoma

Since 1893, over 100 tornadoes have struck Moore, including at least 20 F4/EF4 or F5/EF5 tornadoes. The earliest confirmed areas of Moore was an F1 tornado that hit Moore in 1893. Minor damage occurred from this tornado. The first catastrophic and well-known tornado to strike Moore was May 3, 1999 when a large F5 killed 36, injured 583 and is one of the costliest tornadoes ever. In the years after 1999 until 2013, an F4 caused major damage to parts of Moore in 2003 and again in 2010 by an EF4. In the early afternoon hours of May 20, 2013, a massive EF5 tornado caused catastrophic damage, killing 24, injuring over 200, and like it's 1999 predecessor, is one of the costliest tornadoes ever. Moore was struck by EF0 and EF1 tornadoes in the 4 years after 2013, before Moore was nearly destroyed by multiple separate tornadoes in 2018. The first EF5 of the 2018 Super Outbreak struck Moore, causing 29 deaths and is one of the costliest tornadoes ever like it's 1999 and 2013 counterparts. Moore was then struck 2 days later by multiple EF4 and EF5 tornadoes. The following month, multiple violent tornadoes struck the outskirts of Moore, causing even more major damage.

Woodward, Oklahoma

The city of Woodward, Oklahoma has been hit by multiple F4/EF4 or F5/EF5 tornadoes on multiple occasions. The first major tornado was an F5 that struck the city on April 9, 1947. In all, the tornado killed 181, including 107 in Woodward. The city was struck by 3 separate F3 between 1947 and 2012, causing severe damage, yet no deaths or injuries occurred. A large, nighttime EF3 struck Woodward in April 2012, killing 6 and injured 29. 2018, like Antlers and Moore, was a catastrophic year for tornadoes in Woodward. A massive EF5 struck Woodward on May 30, killing 249 and injuring 428. Multiple other EF3 and EF4 tornadoes struck the outskirts of Woodward, causing severe and major damage in and near Woodward. On May 15, 2019, a large wedge EF5 tornado struck downtown Woodward near the end of it's record long lifespan and track length. In Woodward, 6 were killed and 18 were injured.

Jackson, Tennessee

The city of Jackson, Tennessee has been hit by an F4/EF4 tornado three separate times, in 19992003, and 2008. All three of these tornadoes occurred after dark and were preceded or followed by a separate F3/EF3 tornado that caused additional destruction in the Jackson area.
