This page documents notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 2004. Strong and destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States,Bangladesh,and Eastern India,but they can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions. Tornadoes also develop occasionally in southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer and somewhat regularly at other times of the year across Europe,Asia,and Australia. Tornadic events are often accompanied with other forms of severe weather,including strong thunderstorms,strong winds,and hail.
This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 2002,primarily in the United States. Most tornadoes form in the U.S.,although some events may take place internationally.

This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 1999,primarily in the United States. Most tornadoes form in the U.S.,although some events may take place internationally,particularly in parts of neighboring southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer season,as well as Europe. One particular event,the Bridge Creek-Moore,Oklahoma F5 tornado,produced the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth,which was 301 ± 20 mph (484 ± 32 km/h).

Tornado statistics for older years like this often appear significantly lower than modern years due to fewer reports or confirmed tornadoes.
This page documents notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 1973,but mostly features events in the United States. According to tornado researcher Thomas P. Grazulis,documentation of tornadoes outside the United States was historically less exhaustive,owing to the lack of monitors in many nations and,in some cases,to internal political controls on public information. Most countries only recorded tornadoes that produced severe damage or loss of life. Consequently,available documentation in 1973 mainly covered the United States. On average,most recorded tornadoes,including the vast majority of significant—F2 or stronger—tornadoes,form in the U.S.,although as many as 500 may take place internationally. Some locations,like Bangladesh,are as prone to violent tornadoes as the U.S.,meaning F4 or greater events on the Fujita scale.
This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 1967,primarily in the United States. Most tornadoes form in the U.S.,although some events may take place internationally. Tornado statistics for older years like this often appear significantly lower than modern years due to fewer reports or confirmed tornadoes.

Strong and destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States,Argentina,Brazil,Bangladesh,and Eastern India,but can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions. Tornadoes also develop occasionally in southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer and somewhat regularly at other times of the year across Europe,Asia,Argentina,and Australia. Tornadic events are often accompanied by other forms of severe weather,including strong thunderstorms,strong winds,and hail.
This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 1949,primarily in the United States. Most recorded tornadoes form in the U.S.,although some events may take place internationally. Tornado statistics for older years like this often appear significantly lower than modern years due to fewer reports or confirmed tornadoes.
The 2002 La Plata tornado was an extremely powerful and fast-moving multi-vortex tornado that devastated the town of La Plata,Maryland,killing 3 people and injuring 122 others. It was the costliest tornado of the tornado outbreak of April 27–28,2002,causing at least $115 million in damages. It is also one of the strongest tornadoes ever to hit the greater Baltimore-Washington D.C. area.
A rare,violent,and deadly long-tracked tornado struck several villages in the Hodonín and Břeclav districts of the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic in the evening of 24 June 2021,killing six people and injuring 576 others. This tornado is the widest on record in Europe,at 3.5km maximum width. The tornado struck seven municipalities,with the worst damage in the villages of Hrušky,MoravskáNováVes,Mikulčice and Lužice.
The following is a list of weather events in 2019.
This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 1948,primarily in the United States. Most tornadoes form in the U.S.,although some events may take place internationally. Tornado statistics for older years like this often appear significantly lower than modern years due to fewer reports or confirmed tornadoes. Also,prior to 1950,tornadoes were not officially surveyed by the U.S. Weather Bureau,which would later become the National Weather Service,and thus had no official rating. All documented significant tornadoes were instead given unofficial ratings by tornado experts like Thomas P. Grazulis.
This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 1946,primarily in the United States. Most recorded tornadoes form in the U.S.,although some events may take place internationally. Tornado statistics for older years like this often appear significantly lower than modern years due to fewer reports or confirmed tornadoes.
On April 27,1971,a violent F4 tornado struck Gosser Ridge and other parts of Russell and Pulaski County,Kentucky. In November 1999,the National Climatic Data Center published a list of the historical F5 tornadoes in the United States from 1880 to 1999,which rated the Gosser Ridge tornado as an F5 tornado. It was later officially downgraded to an F4 tornado.
