The Deadliest Tornado Of EVERY Year | 1950-2023



Tornadoes. Over a thousand occur in the United States every year and even more occur across north America. A handful of those every year unfortunately become deadly. So let’s have a look at the deadliest tornado from every year from 1950 all the way to the present day here in 2023. I will be covering tornadoes specifically in north America. But Let’s dive into it, sit back, relax, and enjoy the video!

  1. The Andover, KS F5 tornado actually occured on April 26, 1991 and not April 29, 1991. There was a mid to high-end EF3 tornado that struck and moved through parts of the area destroying the YMCA on April 29, 2022.

  2. Omga, this video is so cool!! Seriously, meteorology has always been one of my greatest interests, and I really want to be a meteorologist one day, so thank you for making this! May I ask what site you used to get all the images of the tornado paths? :]

  3. My Grandpa watched the 1954 Beecher(Flint), MI tornado from a mile away, he always told me he'd never seen the sky that color before or since (wild green) and that it was incredibly loud. My Grandma was so mad at him for not taking shelter was so funny to hear them talk about it, I miss them dearly.

    I myself was 1/2 mile away from the 1988 Raleigh NC tornado, have never seen lightning like that it was exactly like a strobelight you could see everything and it was 1 in the morning, it took a turn right before it came to my house, I mean RIGHT before it was unbelieveable.

  4. One of the people who actually died in the Joplin tornado was actually a famous (at the time) youtuber by the name of "Will Da Beast" (I think that's what his name was). He was on his way home from his high school graduation when his dad drove into the tornado. Will was sucked into the tornado out of his car and tragically died.

  5. “Enjoy” the video? Honestly, no, I found it hard to. Found it interesting? Yes, definitely, I only ever hear about the big boys, the most famous tornados, so it was interesting to learn a bit about the lesser known ones.

  6. You may want to re-check your dates on the 2012 tornado that hit Henryville, IN. I believe you said it was March 22nd, however, I believe that actually occurred on March 2nd.

  7. I was especially intrigued by your mention of the Palm Sunday 1965 outbreak and your showing the photo of the double vortex tornado that struck near Elkhart, Indiana on that day. I was 14 years old at the time. I was born, raised and still live in that part of Indiana and remember well what happened that day especially since some relatives of mine were directly in the path of one of the storms (There were actually two major tornadoes that struck near Elkhart that day resulting in about 50 total fatalities.). Thank the Lord my relatives made it to shelter in time and survived.

    Just came across your channel today. Immediately subscribed and am looking forward to more interesting videos.

  8. Great video! Might want to take a look at 1966 though. You have an aerial photo of the damage at Washburn University from the June 8, 1966 tornado. That’s in Topeka, KS, rather than Candlestick Park in Jackson, MS. 😊

  9. Been around for 61 of those tornadoes and certain ones were formost in mind. Those of us of a certain age the mere mention of the name Xenia brings the memory of that day even if you weren't in Ohio.
    Being an Illinois resident Plainfield and Utica come to mind. Plainfield I had the perspective of watching from the north Chicago burbs working for an HVAC company scrapping out a finished job and noticed the thunderheads to the southwest when leaving the shop had dissipated to a low cloudbank to the south ( no radio in the work truck so depended on weather signs taught me by my grandfather). After about 30 45 minutes of scrapping out several finished jobsites I checked checked to the south again at the low cloudbank and went back in for another load to bring out another load and after another 5 to 8 minutes came out and stopped dead in my tracks because that low cloudbank was a giant supercell and even remember saying to myself whoever's under that is catching hell right now. Plainfield was a rapid nothing to monster storm. My late wife and I had many trips to Utica as Starved Rock was her inner sanctum she shared with me and we had planned a trip down there about a month, month and a half after and the path was very visible. IIRC there was only one known photo of the Utica tornado taken not long before striking Utica and that photo made it very clear to anyone that thought an EF5 had to be a monster wedge as the Utica tornado was a thin wispy tornado.

  10. Great video! Love these types of vids. No one really does them anymore. Just one thing though, the Worcester Massachusetts tornado of 1953 was the deadliest that year. It was rated F4 and killed 94 and injured just under 1300. people in central Massachusetts had virtually no warning. It hit Assumption College obliterating it. No one really talks about it because it’s so far out of tornado alley.
