List of North American tornadoes and tornado outbreaks

These are some notable tornadoes, tornado outbreaks, and tornado outbreak sequences that have occurred in North America.

1. The listing is U.S.-centric, with greater and more consistent information available for U.S. tornadoes. Some North American outbreaks affecting the U.S. may only include tornado information from the U.S.
2. Exact death and injury counts are not possible, especially for large events and events before 1950.
3. Prior to 1950 in the United States, only significant tornadoes (rated F2 or higher or causing a fatality) are listed for the number of tornadoes in outbreaks. These ratings are estimates from tornado expert Tom Grazulis and are not official.
4. Due to increasing detection, particularly in the U.S., numbers of counted tornadoes have increased markedly in recent decades although number of actual tornadoes and counted significant tornadoes has not. In older events, the number of tornadoes officially counted is likely underestimated.
5. Historical context: Much of the tornado activity in the American Midwestern area is relatively unknown and significantly under-reported prior to the middle of the 1800s as few people lived there to record the yearly activity. The American government did not acquire the Midwestern states area until the 1803 Louisiana Purchase from the French government. The Louisiana Purchase area included major tornado activity areas of north Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, and lower Minnesota. Large groups of settlers and pioneers only began populating the region after 1820. As these areas began being more populated, existing tornado activity there became more known and reported through newspaper and telegraph.

Where applicable, a count of the number of significant (F2/EF2 and stronger), violent (F4/EF4 and stronger), and killer tornadoes is included for outbreaks.

Tornado outbreak of May 6–10, 2024	May 6–10	2024	Midwestern United States, Southern United States	179	5		A widespread tornado outbreak produced tornadoes across the southern and midwestern United States. On May 6, a rare tornado-driven high risk outlook was issued for portions of Kansas and Oklahoma. That night, a violent EF4 tornado struck Barnsdall and Bartlesville, Oklahoma, killing two people and prompting the issuance of a tornado emergency. The following day on May 7, another outbreak occurred in the Great Lakes region. This included four EF2 tornadoes that caused significant damage across Michigan and Ohio, one of which prompted a tornado emergency for areas near Sherwood, Michigan, which was the first time such an alert had ever been issued in the state, and another that injured 16 people in Portage, Michigan. The next day on May 8, another outbreak occurred across the Tennessee Valley. A powerful EF3 tornado caused major damage near Columbia, Tennessee, killing one and prompting the issuance of another tornado emergency. Later that evening, another EF3 tornado caused severe damage near Rogersville, Alabama, an EF2 tornado damaged several neighborhoods in Huntsville, Alabama, and another EF3 tornado that led to the issuance of another tornado emergency and injured seven people near Henagar, Alabama.

Another derecho formed in southwestern Nebraska late on May 23 and moved eastward, producing widespread wind damage and weak tornadoes through Nebraska and Iowa and northwestern Illinois into the morning hours of May 24. A large tornado outbreak started late on May 25 with the resulting storms contributing to May 26 being the most active day for tornadic weather. An isolated supercell in Texas spawned an EF3 tornado that killed seven people near Valley View. To the north, a cluster of supercells that formed along the Kansas-Oklahoma border between Wichita, Kansas and Oklahoma City spawned numerous significant tornadoes and generated destructive straight-line winds of up to 100 mph (160 km/h) as it moved eastward through southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. An EF3 tornado killed two people as it passed through Claremore and moved through areas northwest of Pryor, Oklahoma. Another EF3 tornado near Decatur, Arkansas became the largest tornado ever recorded in the state.
