List of tornadoes in the United States
This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States from July to September 2022. Tornado counts are considered preliminary until final publication in the database of the National Centers for Environmental Information. On average, there are 134 confirmed tornadoes in the United States in July, 83 in August, 74 in September, and 61 in October.[1]
July and August were both significantly below average, with only 66 and 23 tornadoes being confirmed respectively. Unlike previous years, little to no tropical cyclone activity was present during this time, and no tropical tornadoes occurred as a result. September had seven tropical tornadoes, which were produced by Hurricane Ian, but only five other tornadoes touched down during the month, leaving it significantly below average with only 12 tornadoes. October was also well below average with only 25 tornadoes.
A high-end EF1 tornado tore a garage off a house, blew over a camper, uprooted trees, downed or snapped multiple power poles and lines, and flattened corn in a field.[2][3]
July 5 event
List of confirmed tornadoes – Tuesday, July 5, 2022[note 1]
A high-end EF2 tornado touched down in Goshen, where numerous homes were damaged and six had their roofs torn off, a few of which sustained damage to exterior walls. An insurance business completely lost its roof and multiple exterior walls, injuring a woman inside. The local fire station was heavily damaged and one firefighter sustained minor injuries, while a nearby one-story brick office building was largely destroyed, sustaining total loss of its roof and collapse of numerous walls. Goshen High School and Goshen Middle School had roof and siding damage, and a few other structures and businesses sustained minor damage. Vehicles were damaged by flying debris, many large trees and several power poles were snapped, and multiple outbuildings were destroyed in and around town. At least 150 structures were damaged in the Goshen area.[2][12][13]
This tornado snapped and uprooted trees, some of which fell on homes and vehicles. Several homes sustained damage to their roofs and porches as well.[2][14]
An RV was flipped on its side, injuring one person and a house had roof damage. Another property received minor damage. The tornado continued causing tree and minor damage. An outbuilding collapsed causing two injuries as well. Logan Elm School had several buildings receive minor damage to various portions of the sports complex. Additional tree damage continued as it entered and eventually dissipated in Fairfield County.[35]
July 18 event
List of confirmed tornadoes – Monday, July 18, 2022[note 1]
This tornado caused significant damage in Glentana. Glentana Hall had its metal roof peeled off, and a house had its roof torn off as well. An 8-ton grain truck was tipped over, two fuel tanks were toppled, and several empty grain bins were lifted off their foundations and were blown up to 0.5 mi (0.80 km) away. Garages and storage buildings were destroyed, and pieces of farm machinery were damaged. A pole barn was also destroyed, power poles were snapped, and trees were downed in town as well.[2][39]
A high-end EF0 tornado removed a small amount of roof covering an apartment building, caused minor roof damage to several buildings, and damaged the grounds of the White Eagle Golf Course. Trees were uprooted and tree limbs were downed along the path as well, including some that damaged fences.[2][52]
The same storm that spawned the above tornado quickly produced this weak tornado that passed east of Crest Hill, damaging trees and knocking down tree limbs.[2][52][53]
The same storm that produced the above tornadoes produced a third weak, brief tornado that moved along US 52. A tree was uprooted, tree limbs were blown down, and a metal road sign was blown over.[2][52]
This tornado was embedded in a larger area of straight-line winds and downed numerous large trees in Troy, with one trunk snapped at its base, and several large branches snapped not far off the ground. One tree landed on and severely damaged a car, and a bank sign was damaged as well. A couple homes also had some minor roof damage. The tornado was not visible on radar, and no tornado warning was issued.[54]
An unanchored garage was shifted 6 in (15 cm) off its foundation. A communications tower next to the garage folded in half, and metal roofing and siding on the garage were damaged. A propane tank was slightly rolled, a playground set was torn apart, and a trampoline was crumpled. Before dissipating, the tornado crossed I-70.[2][60][61]
Outbuildings and barns were damaged or destroyed at the beginning of the path, including a large barn that was significantly damaged, with a portion of the structure being displaced up to 30 yd (27 m) away. A house in this area sustained shingle damage as well. Significant tree damage occurred in a wooded area, where a large swath of trees was flattened. Some trees landed on homes and caused structural damage, and many power lines were downed as well.[2][63]
A weak tornado that was spotted by several eyewitnesses ripped some siding off a couple of barns while also tearing the door off one of them. Trees were knocked down and tree branches were snapped sporadically along the path as well.[64][65]
A brief tornado broke several large branches and partially ripped soffits off of a home. A storm chaser caught video of the tornado.[71]
August
This section needs to be updated. The reason given is: NCEI has released the Storm Event Database for the month. Tornadoes from the 25, 26, and 28 are missing from these charts. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.(November 2022)
A tornado embedded within a squall line struck a large grain elevator in Beason, damaging some large bins and equipment, large trees, and some powerlines. A few homes in town sustained minor shingle damage, one of which had a broken window.[72][73]
A barn, a shed, and a camper were destroyed, a 160-year-old barn lost its roof, and a church parsonage sustained major roof damage from this low-end EF2 tornado. Numerous large trees were snapped or downed as well. This was the first tornado to affect Ohio County since 1977.[2][76]
This high-end EF0 tornado was spawned by the same storm that produced the previous tornado. A barn completely collapsed, a camper was overturned, a home lost some of its siding and numerous trees were uprooted.[2][77]

This tornado first touched down at Florida Atlantic University, tearing siding from buildings there. The tornado caused minor damage to trees and fencing in Delray Beach before reaching high-end EF2 strength in Kings Point. A two-story apartment building in Kings Point had its roof torn off, and nearby apartment buildings had large parts of their roofs removed. Palm trees were snapped in half, trees and tree branches were snapped and thrown into buildings, and vehicles were flipped and severely damaged. Other homes and apartment buildings had varying degrees of roof and window damage, and some sustained damage to screened-in patios. Two people were injured in Kings Point as a roof collapsed.[106][105]
A barn and some homes were damaged, and a two-story home that was under construction collapsed as the tornado touched down west of I-35. As the tornado crossed the Interstate it flipped a semi-trailer and downed nine wooden power poles, including one that was snapped in half. Additional power poles were damaged and snapped as the tornado continued to the east of the Interstate. A home sustained roof damage, a barn lost a portion of its roof, and a small, enclosed cargo trailer was lofted roughly 100 yards (91 m) downwind before the tornado dissipated.

The roll-up door of a small industrial building was damaged, and a loaded construction trailer was moved 4–6 feet (1.2–1.8 m). The most intense damage occurred in a wooded area, where several large hardwood trees were snapped, including one that landed on a manufactured home.[2][115]
A small metal outbuilding was lifted and tossed into a power pole. Several fence panels were blown out, and a large tree limb fell onto a vehicle.[2][116]
October 29 event
List of confirmed tornadoes – Saturday, October 29, 2022[note 1]
A barn was destroyed and a chicken coup was flipped over. A travel trailer had its windows broken by flying debris. Trees were snapped or uprooted along the path as well.[2][118]
Several free-standing metal light poles were bent at a park, and roof shingles were removed from a few homes. Hardwood trees along its path were snapped, leading to a high-end EF1 rating.[2][117]
This tornado originated as a waterspout over a bay before moving onshore into a heavily forested area, where it was likely weak or discontinuous. A barn lost most of its tin roofing, and a manufactured home was rolled and completely destroyed. Three people inside the manufactured home received minor injuries. A pontoon boat on a trailer was moved about 30 yards (27 m), and minor damage occurred at a construction site before the tornado lifted. Hardwood and softwood trees were snapped along the path.[2][118]
A very brief tornado shifted a wooden carport off its holding blocks, moved a loaded trailer about 20 feet (6.1 m), and uprooted a hardwood tree. It is possible this tornado began before the current starting point, but limited road access made additional investigation difficult for damage surveyors.[2][119]
