This article is a list of tornadoes that had at least one confirmed satellite tornado. A satellite tornado is one that revolves around a larger, primary tornado and interacts with the same mesocyclone. Satellite tornadoes occur apart from the primary tornado and are not considered subvortices; the primary and satellite are considered to be separate tornadoes.

Potential satellite tornadoes list

This is a list of tornadoes that potentially had satellite tornadoes, but never had any confirmed.

F#/EF# Date Location Fatalities Notes
EFU June 16, 2009 N of Menno, South Dakota 0
Main article: Tornadoes of 2009 § June 15–16
A large tornado and possible satellite tornado were observed and documented by the TWISTEX research team.[71] The tornado itself had no reported damage, but the associated winds on the south side of the tornado damaged a few buildings, trees, and signs in town.[72]
EF2 May 7, 2019 SSW of New Cordell, Oklahoma 0 An EF2 tornado caused damage from NNE of Hobart to SSW of Cordell,[73] while a second simultaneous EFU tornado occurred near Cordell. Storm chasers were unable to discern whether this was a tornado along a parallel path or a satellite tornado. No damage was reported.[74]
EF3 April 12, 2022 Williamson County, Texas and Bell County, Texas 0 (23 injuries)
Main article: April 2022 North American storm complex
Video evidence taken on the ground during the tornadic event, and areal footage of the damage track show the parent circulation produced at least 3 small, brief satellite tornadoes. Scattered damage points and small paths made it too difficult to determine which areas may have been impacted by each of these smaller tornadoes before the parent tornado formed. Because the satellite tornadoes all formed from the same parent circulation within a short time, they were considered one tornado.[75]
F0 September 26, 2022 Canino, Italy 0 An F0 tornado caused minor damage to structures and ripped tents. The European Severe Storms Laboratory noted a “possible satellite funnel observed”.[76]
