Total fatalities: 114

The 1967 tornado season was very active with numerous large, destructive, and deadly outbreaks taking place. In fact, the only months not to have tornado-related fatalities were February and November, although both saw numerous injuries. The deadliest outbreak occurred in April while the biggest one occurred in September. The month of December was incredibly active as well, producing an unusually high 61 tornadoes with 60 of them stemming from three large outbreaks that occurred during the month. This remains one of the most-active December's on record.

Multiple homes leveled on Glengate Drive in Maryland Heights, Missouri, by an F4 tornado

A low pressure system produced one of the northernmost winter tornado outbreak on record, with strong tornadoes forming as far north as Wisconsin. An F4 tornado tore through the suburbs of St. Louis, killing three people, injuring 216, and destroying 168 homes. More than 1740 homes were damaged and more than 600 businesses were damaged or destroyed. Another F4 tornado destroyed 5 farms near Queen City, Missouri, completely leveling two of them. This tornado continued into Iowa, where it only produced F1 damage. An F3 tornado hit Buckner and Orrick, Missouri. The tornado collapsed the roof of the high school in Orrick, killing two students. The tornado also destroyed two homes and tore the roof from a third. Another F3 destroyed two houses and killed a child near Fort Madison, Iowa. A fourth killer tornado, also rated F3, destroyed houses and outbuildings. One person was killed after being thrown 200 feet (60 m) and three people were injured. Another F3 tornado destroyed three homes in Mount Carroll, Illinois, destroying three homes and producing near-F4 damage. The northernmost tornado of the outbreak was an F3 storm that passed near Bordhead and Milton, Wisconsin, destroying barns and tearing the roof and walls from a country club. [4] [5] [6]

The most significant tornado outbreak of 1967 struck the Midwestern United States, killing 58 people, all in Illinois, and injuring 1,118. The deadliest tornado of the outbreak was an F4 tornado that devastated the south side of Chicago and surrounding suburbs, killing 33 and injuring 500. [5] The worst damage from this tornado was in Oak Lawn and Hometown, where many buildings were leveled. [14] As the tornado struck during the Friday evening rush hour, many of the deaths were in cars that the tornado picked up and tossed at red traffic lights. Several children were killed when a skating rink was destroyed, while others died in the collapse of a super market and the destruction of trailers. [5] [14] The other major killer of the outbreak was an F4 tornado that devastated the south and southeastern portions of Belvidere, Illinois, killing 24 people and injuring 450. The greatest loss of life was at the Belvidere High School, where 13 people were killed and 300 were injured as the tornado struck the bus loading area as school was letting out. Most of the dead were students who were tossed by the tornado. At least seven more people were killed at a shopping center. In all, this tornado destroyed 130 homes and damaged 370. Outside Belvidere, the tornado leveled farms, but without any loss of life. One school bus was torn in half south of Harvard, but all on board took refuge in a ditch. The other killer storm of the day was an F4 tornado or tornado family that killed one and injured 100 as it struck Elgin, Lake Zurich, and Barrington Hills, Illinois. Homes were leveled at the latter location. [5] A tornado family with a maximum rating of F4 traveled for 59 miles (95 km) across Linn, Macon and, Knox Counties in Missouri, but missed every town along its path, destroying homes and barns. Two people suffered minor injuries as their home was destroyed. [5] The final F4 tornado of the day struck Westphalia and Fowler, Michigan, destroying three homes and damaging 18. The tornado injured eight people and killed 34 sheep. An F3 tornado tore through the south side of Grand Rapids, Michigan, destroying 65 buildings, causing major damage to another 60 and minor damage to 275. No deaths occurred but 32 people were injured. [5]

April 21 (California)

As the outbreak in the Midwest was occurring, an F1 tornado caused considerable damage in Northwestern Madera, California. [15]

April 30 – May 2

A low pressure system produced a tornado outbreak in the Midwest, with the most intense activity concentrated near the IowaMinnesota state line. The deadliest storm of the outbreak was an F4 tornado that traveled north along Minnesota State Highway 13 and through Waseca, where it cut a four-block wide damage path, destroying 16 homes, heavily damaging 25, and killing six people. Farm buildings were also destroyed north and south of the town. Another F4 tornado killed five people as it tore through Albert Lea, Clarks Grove, Ellendale and Hope, Minnesota, leveling farms along its path. The tornadoes destroyed 26 homes and badly damaged 64 in Albert Lea. One F4 tornado destroyed 10 farms near Manly, Iowa, with near-F5 damage to three of them. More farms suffered extensive damaged near Myrtle, Minnesota. Another F4 tornado passed through Worth County, Iowa, but is not mentioned by Grazulis.

On June 23, an F3 tornado devastated the northern half of Garden City, Kansas, killing one person and injuring 30. More than 400 homes were damaged and about 150 had roofs and exterior walls torn off. Some homes may have been completely leveled, which would indicate F4 intensity, but this could not be confirmed. The newly built Brior Hill Subdivision was destroyed with many homes that had roofs torn off and interior walls collapsed, the water tower was damaged and the Church Of the Nazarene had its roof ripped off. Numerous trees in the worst affected areas were denuded and stripped of leaves with some slight debarking occurring to smaller trees. [5] In additional F0 occurred in Dumas, Texas [25]

On June 24 and June 25, a major tornado outbreak occurred over parts of Northern France, the Netherlands, and Germany. In France, 4 tornadoes occurred, all of them F2 and stronger. An F2 tornado touched down, and damaged parts of Argoules, France and 2 other villages, as it traveled on a 12 km path. At 18:40 UTC, an F3 tornado touched down in Davenescourt, affecting 2 villages. At about 19:35 UTC, the most violent tornado of the year touched down in Pas-de-Calais, completely leveling and sweeping away 17 homes. The narrow F5 tornado tore through Palluel, lifting cars, and throwing houses, killing 6 people and injuring 30. The tornado then abruptly dissipated as it reached the Canal du Nord. At around 20:00 UTC, a large, violent, 1.5 mile-wide F4 wedge tornado touched down, killing 2 people and injuring 50 on a 23 km long path. In the Netherlands, two F3 tornadoes touched down near Buren and Ulicoten, killing 7 people. On June 25, another F3 tornado touched down in the Netherlands, also killing 2 people. Finally, an unrated tornado touched down near Berlin, although not much information is available about this event. [26] However, due to the significant amount of significant tornadoes (F2 or stronger), and the fact that there were no F0 or F1 tornadoes officially confirmed, it is likely that several tornadoes were not reported.

This page documents notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 2001. 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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tornadoes of 1973</span>

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.
