How to interpret this page

These are whole tracks selected by their recorded touchdown area, not all tornadoes that affected that area. The linked map also includes tracks recorded as ending in or crossing the selected state, so its count may be higher. A border-crossing track's rating and dimensions describe the whole event and may reflect conditions beyond that border. Earlier reporting was less complete, especially for weaker tornadoes.

Source: NOAA SPC 1950–2025 single-track CSV. Latest event date: 2025-12-28. Processing and limitations explain missing values, approximate track lines, and why monetary losses are not totaled here.
