Worldwide, 116 tornado-related deaths were confirmed, 83 of them in the United States, 12 in China, nine in Indonesia, eight in Myanmar, three in Turkey, and one in Saudi Arabia.
January saw the third-highest number of tornado watches and confirmed tornadoes of any January on record in the United States.[1] Additionally, the first two months of the year saw the fourth-highest number of confirmed tornadoes for the first 59 days of any year on record.[2] In addition, the year has been deadlier than average, with multiple fatal tornadoes. By April 5, 63 tornado-related deaths had been recorded in the United States; this was almost three times higher than 2022's total of 23 fatalities, approaching the annual average of roughly 70 deaths.[3] Although below average tornadic activity occurred in May, active weather patterns consistently spawned damaging tornado outbreaks throughout the summer, causing 12 additional deaths. Multiple damaging tornadoes also affected portions of Canada during that time, including the first violent tornado in the country since 2018. However, tornadic activity decreased dramatically in September and was almost non-existent through a large portion of the autumn months. This was mostly due to most Atlantic tropical cyclones missing the United States during the peak of hurricane season and few early-season frontal systems; but an intense outbreak in December produced 18 tornadoes, causing seven fatalities.[4]
Notably this year, several organizations across Europe including the European Severe Storms Laboratory and Deutscher Wetterdienst published and began using the new International Fujita scale, starting in August 2023.[5] The first major tornado outbreak to use that scale occurred three months later when European windstorm Storm Ciarán affected a large portion of Europe.

A significant tornado outbreak impacted the Southeastern United States, with several strong and long-tracked tornadoes touching down and causing multiple fatalities. On January 12, the SPC issued an enhanced risk of severe weather, including a 10% risk area for tornadoes. Multiple supercell thunderstorms formed in the threat area later that day, and significant tornadoes began touching down. In Alabama, the small towns of Emelle, Eutaw, and Movico were all impacted by EF2 tornadoes, resulting in extensive damage. A large high-end EF2 tornado also caused severe structural damage in Selma, Alabama. Many homes and businesses sustained major damage in Selma, and a daycare with 70 children plus workers was destroyed, but only one minor injury occurred inside, one of two injuries reported from the tornado. The same storm that produced the Selma tornado later produced a long-tracked EF3 tornado that prompted tornado emergencies for Autauga, Elmore, Chilton, Coosa, and northern Tallapoosa counties.[20] This deadly tornado caused seven fatalities in the Old Kingston community of Autauga County as it completely obliterated numerous mobile homes, as well as tossing vehicles and causing massive timber damage.[21] Multiple strong tornadoes, which were all spawned by the Selma supercell, also impacted parts of Georgia, including an EF2 tornado that inflicted major damage to homes and industrial buildings in the southern part of LaGrange. A large EF3 tornado struck the western edge of Griffin and Experiment, badly damaging or destroying homes and businesses, and flipping cars. This tornado was accompanied by three other tornadoes at the beginning of its track near Griffin, including a high-end EF2 tornado that caused considerable damage to homes and trees. Another high-end EF2 tornado also caused significant damage in Jenkinsburg and near Jackson Lake, resulting in one fatality when a tree fell onto a car along with an indirect fatality the next day when falling tree limb knocked a transportation worker out of a bucket truck while he working to restore power lines.[22] A high-end EF1 tornado also touched down near the Atlanta suburb of Mableton, damaging an industrial business and downing many trees, some of which landed on homes. Other weak tornadoes were confirmed in parts of Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and the Carolinas. Overall, this outbreak produced a total of 41 tornadoes and resulted in eight fatalities, along with at least 53 injuries.[23]

A large, widespread, and deadly tornado outbreak impacted large portions of the Midwestern, Southern, and Eastern United States. A high risk was issued for two areas in the Mississippi Valley on the morning of March 31; it was the first high risk issuance since March 25, 2021. That afternoon, a high-end EF3 wedge tornado passed through the Little Rock, Arkansas, metro area, prompting a tornado emergency as it inflicted significant damage to numerous structures. One person was killed by that tornado. Later, an intense high-end EF3 tornado caused severe damage near Martinsburg, Iowa. The same storm then produced a violent low-end EF4 tornado that destroyed multiple homes near Keota. The Iowa towns of Coralville, Hills, Mediapolis, and Charlotte all sustained significant damage after being impacted by EF2 tornadoes. EF2 tornadoes also caused severe damage in Sherman and Geneseo, Illinois, as well. Several other large tornadoes touched down throughout that afternoon and evening, including an EF3 tornado that killed four people in Wynne, Arkansas, and another EF3 tornado that killed a person in Covington, Tennessee. An EF1 tornado that struck Belvidere, Illinois, collapsed the roof of the Apollo Theatre, which was hosting a sold-out concert, resulting in one fatality and over 40 injuries.[56] Later, another destructive EF3 tornado killed six people when it struck Robinson, Illinois, and Sullivan, Indiana, before the cell traveled northwest, producing another EF3 tornado that destroyed homes, tossed cars and farm machinery, and killed two people near Spencer. The same supercell later spawned an EF3 tornado which directly impacted the town of Whiteland, where a warehouse and many homes were destroyed.[57] Another destructive and long-tracked EF3 tornado killed nine people in McNairy County, Tennessee, impacting the outskirts of Bethel Springs and Adamsville. A high-end EF3 tornado north of Hazel Green, Alabama, also destroyed homes and killed a person early on April 1.[4][58][full citation needed][59][60] More severe weather occurred the next day along the eastern Great Lakes and East Coast, producing widespread damaging winds along with isolated hail and tornadoes. This included one destructive EF3 tornado that killed a person in Sussex County, Delaware. The tornado was the largest ever recorded in Delaware and only the second killer tornado and the second tornado rated F3/EF3 in the state since modern records began in 1950.[4][61][62][63] Seven tornadoes also touched down in New Jersey, three of which reached EF2 intensity.[4][61] In all, 146 tornadoes making it the 3rd largest tornado outbreak in recorded history, along with 26 tornadic fatalities, one indirect tornado-related fatality, and at least 218 injuries were confirmed as a result of this tornado outbreak. Six non-tornadic deaths also occurred during the outbreak.[64]

On April 15, a linear complex of severe thunderstorms with embedded circulations developed in Missouri and moved eastward through the St. Louis metro area, producing multiple tornadoes. A strong EF2 tornado destroyed a small house near Vichy, Missouri, heavily damaged metal airplane hangars at Rolla National Airport, and injured five people. An EF1 tornado moved through the St. Louis suburbs of Fenton and Sunset Hills, causing damage to homes, warehouses, and trees. The towns of Hillsboro, Festus, and Pevely were also directly hit by EF1 tornadoes, resulting in minor to moderate damage. Another EF1 tornado struck Belleville, Illinois, where homes, apartment buildings, and businesses had roofing blown off and large trees were snapped or uprooted, some of which landed on structures. Farther south, an isolated EF1 tornado caused damage to trees and homes near Ringgold, Louisiana. A total of 14 tornadoes were confirmed, and numerous reports of damaging straight-line winds were received as well.[4][80] The National Centers for Environmental Information documented that this storm system caused $1.1 billion (2023 USD) in damage.[79] The line of storms also forced the Kansas City Royals to postpone a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves.[81]

Further north, a supercell produced a series of eight tornadoes in Chase County, Kansas, near Strong City, including an EF0 tornado that overturned a semi-truck near Elmdale, causing an injury. Two EF2 tornadoes near Strong City caused major damage to outbuildings, silos, power poles, and trees, while an EF0 tornado caused minor tree damage in the northern part of town. An EF1 tornado caused minor to moderate damage as it moved through Cottonwood Falls, and another EF0 tornado injured a person in a vehicle near Saffordville. Three EFU tornadoes were also confirmed in Iowa.[96] Another round of severe weather occurred the next day from southern Wisconsin to South Texas, including three weak tornadoes in Illinois and Texas, and hail in Illinois up to 3.00 in (7.6 cm) wide.[97][98] Federal disaster assistance was requested in Oklahoma following the tornado outbreak. Overall, a total of 32 tornadoes were confirmed. One direct tornado-related fatality occurred, along with an indirect fatality and 188 injuries.[99][100] The tornado outbreak resulted in $1.9 billion in damage.[79]

Several tornadoes touched down in the Eastern United States on April 22. An EF0 tornado in Mooresville, North Carolina, caused minor tree, fence, and house damage. Another EF0 tornado touched down in Poolesville, Maryland, where minor tree and structure damage occurred. The town of Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania, was struck by an EF1 tornado, which snapped trees and power poles, damaged a few structures and vehicles, and flipped a set of metal bleachers. The most significant tornado of the event was an EF2 tornado that produced its most intense damage in rural forested areas north of Jeffersonville, New York, where a metal truss transmission tower was collapsed, garages and barns were heavily damaged or destroyed, and many large hardwood trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado unroofed a couple of buildings in Roscoe and Rockland shortly before it dissipated. Two children were killed in Pennsylvania as a result of trees that were blown over by straight-line winds. The next morning, heavy rainfall fell in the Northeast, with a daily record of 3.13 in (80 mm) of rain in Hartford, Connecticut.[101] The rainfall total in Central Park was 2.14 in (54 mm).[102] Flooding in Central Park resulted in the 86th Street transverse closing.[103] A total of eight tornadoes were confirmed.[4][104]

July 19 (North Carolina)
An intense multiple-vortex tornado touched down southwest of Dortches, North Carolina, leaving power poles bent and trees snapped. The tornado then crossed I-95, producing widespread tree damage and shutting down parts of the highway for several hours.[155] As it moved into the city limits of Dortches itself, it strengthened to high-end EF2 intensity, destroying multiple single-wide mobile homes and snapping power poles. The tornado then reached the north side of Rocky Mount after continuing to travel east-northeast, in which it encountered a residential building and collapsed every exterior wall. The tornado later advanced into Belmont Lake Golf Club, where it strengthened to mid-range EF3 intensity. The tornado collapsed a metal transmission tower and caused significant damage to a Pfizer warehouse facility, flipping and destroying nearby semi-trailer trucks. The tornado then weakened slightly as it crossed into Edgecombe County before lifting east of Battleboro.[156]
The tornado's peak estimated wind speeds were 150 mph (240 km/h), with a peak width of 600 yards (550 m) and a total path length of 16.5 miles (26.6 km).[156] It caused sixteen injuries, two of them resulting in hospitalization, but no fatalities. 38 homes were damaged. The National Weather Service office in Raleigh did not issue a tornado warning for the storm until the tornado had already been down for six minutes, resulting in scrutiny from some meteorologists on social media, but the National Weather Service defended the warning process and noted that the eventual warning came before the tornado dealt its most significant damage.[157] After law enforcement reported that up to 50,000 pallets of medicine had been damaged at the Pfizer facility, Erin Fox of the University of Utah Health said the damage could lead to shortages of certain drugs while the company deals with the situation.[158] FDA Commissioner Robert Califf later announced that, since hospitals already had the drugs or the drugs were on their way, no significant supply impacts were expected. Pfizer said as the tornado had damaged storage areas but not production equipment, any shortages would be less serious.[159] The tornado caused over $300 million (2023 USD) in damage.[160]

On August 4, an EF2 tornado directly hit the town of Baring, Missouri, inflicting widespread damage to homes, trees, and other structures while injuring two people. Two days later, on August 6, a large and long-tracked EF2 tornado hit north of Pawnee, Illinois in Sangamon County, damaging or destroying homes and outbuilding before dissipating near Assumption in Christian County, almost an hour after touching down. On August 7, a high-end EF2 tornado hit the western suburbs of Knoxville, Tennessee. As the storm system brought hundreds of damaging wind reports throughout the Northeastern United States on August 7,[161] an intense, low-end EF3 tornado progressed through southern Lewis County, New York, striking the town of Lewis, and causing significant damage at the Snow Ridge Ski Resort at the end of its 16 miles (26 km) track near Turin, New York.[162] On August 8, an EF3 tornado touched down near Yuma, Colorado, where buildings and structures were significantly damaged or destroyed in Yuma County.[163][164][165]

On January 17, a brief but strong tornado struck Valmontone, which is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, causing significant damage and injuring 2 people. The tornado was spawned by an embedded "comma head" circulation and was captured by a surveillance camera. Multiple homes, apartment buildings, and other structures suffered severe roof damage, and the top floor of one residence was completely destroyed. Trees, gates, and fences were knocked down, and debris was strewn across yards and roads. The European Severe Storms Laboratory rated the tornado F2 on the Fujita scale, with a path length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) and a maximum width of 150 metres (160 yd).[193] After the tornado, Valmontone declared a state of disaster.[194]

On February 1, multiple severe thunderstorms formed in Germany, producing two tornadoes. The first was a short-lived F1 tornado which tracked for 0.2 km (0.1 mi), damaging the roofs of 14 homes in Hinte.[193][195] The second tornado struck areas near the small villages of Getmold, Lashorst and Hedem along a 5.3 km (3.3 mi)-long path, snapping or uprooting large trees and heavily damaging the roofs of multiple homes. A car was damaged by a falling tree near Lashorst, a carriage house had its roof torn off, and a carport was damaged at a farmstead. The most significant damage occurred in an area of pine forest, where many large trees were completely mowed down or stripped of their limbs, and a few tree trunks were snapped off and thrown some distance into nearby fields. Based on the severe tree damage, the second tornado was given an F2 rating.[193][196] Over 85 severe weather reports were documented in Europe that day, 69 of those in Germany.[193][197]
March 9 (France)
On March 9, a strong tornado was caught on video from multiple angles as it impacted areas in and around several small towns and villages in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, resulting in extensive damage. The tornado first badly damaged the roof of a school in Masbaraud-Mérignat before it moved to the northeast and struck Pontarion, where multiple homes and other structures had their roofs heavily damaged, and one house was completely unroofed. Vehicles in town were damaged by flying debris, trees and power poles were downed, a large masonry storage building was partially destroyed, and roof tiles and other projectiles were found driven into the exterior insulation layers of homes. The tornado also caused significant tree damage as it moved through wooded areas outside of Pontarion, snapping and uprooting many large trees, while multiple outbuildings were damaged or destroyed as well. Towards the end of the path, 17 homes sustained minor damage in the Le Donzeil area before the tornado dissipated. The tornado was rated F2 by the ESSL (European Severe Storms Laboratory) and the French Observatory of Tornadoes and Violent Thunderstorms (Keraunos).[198] Keraunos noted that the environment where the tornado formed was conducive for tornado development, as high instability and shear were present in France that day.[199][200]

On September 17, three tornadoes impacted France and the United Kingdom. A brief landspout struck Séreilhac in Région Limousin.[206] Around the same time, a significant tornado struck in Mayenne, France, causing damage to or destroying structures, trees, and concrete utility poles were bent. The French Observatory of Tornadoes and Violent Thunderstorms (Keraunos) rated the tornado EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, with winds estimated between 175 to 225 kilometres per hour (109 to 140 mph).[207] The European Severe Storms Laboratory rated the tornado IF2 on the International Fujita scale. In the late evening, a waterspout made landfall on West Beach before tracking through the western and northern suburbs of Littlehampton and then the communities of Wick and Lyminster. This tornado toppled several trees, smashing at least 20 car windows and those of multiple houses. One person sustained minor leg injuries. On September 18, the Met Office noted that "conditions weren't unfavourable" for a small tornado.[208][209] On September 19, a TORRO site investigator confirmed the event as a tornado. A preliminary analysis suggested the majority of the damage warranted a T1 rating, with a peak of T2.[210]
September 19 (Denmark)
A significant tornado impacted the community of Grønhøj Strand in Jammerbugt Municipality. The tornado picked up a mobile home and threw it 20 metres. Other mobile homes and caravans were overturned or moved and a shed was destroyed. According to the ESSL, the tornado had a track length of 1.22 km, had a maximum path width of 140 metres, and had a maximum intensity of IF2.[206]

For the second time in just over a month, another tornado struck the town of Littlehampton. Several trees were snapped, fence panels were destroyed, power lines were brought down, car windows were smashed, and one house had its entire roof ripped off. On October 29, a TORRO site investigator visited the site where the event happened and confirmed that the weather event was a tornado. Additionally, they have provisionally rated the tornado T4 on the TORRO scale, which is equivalent to a low-end F2 tornado.[212] The European severe weather database rated the tornado IF2 on the International Fujita scale.[206]
