Revision as of 01:27, 29 February 2024
This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States in January and February 2024. Tornado counts are considered preliminary until final publication in the database of the National Centers for Environmental Information.[1] Based on the 1991–2020 average, about 39 tornadoes are typically recorded across the United States during January and about 36 tornadoes are recorded in February.[2] These tornadoes are commonly focused across the Southern United States due to their proximity to the unstable airmass and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as California in association with winter storms.[3]
January saw average levels of tornado activity, focused heavily on a single outbreak early in the month in the climatologically-favored Deep South.

A powerful tornadic waterspout formed over the Gulf of Mexico and moved onshore at Panama City Beach, striking Lower Grand Lagoon. A beachfront home was leveled after it was ripped from its raised wooden pier foundation, a three-story home was tipped over and left leaning against a neighboring house, and multiple other homes and condominiums had roofs and exterior walls torn off. A small breakfast restaurant collapsed, other businesses were damaged, and multiple apartment buildings were unroofed and sustained collapse of numerous second floor walls. Power poles were snapped, boats were tossed around, and several large metal boat storage warehouses were severely damaged at Pirate's Cove Marina, one of which was left with its structural beams severely mangled. The tornado then weakened as it struck Upper Grand Lagoon, causing less intense damage to some homes and a metal building. It continued across St. Andrews Bay and moved back onshore in the western part of Panama City. Several homes had roof and exterior damage, a business lost a large section of its roof, and a large truck was overturned in this area before the tornado dissipated.

After the Lower Grand Lagoon EF3 tornado dissipated, the same supercell produced this tornado that touched down in Lynn Haven, initially downing trees and causing minor roof damage in town. It strengthened to high-end EF2 intensity as it moved to the northeast and impacted neighborhoods along the shores of Deer Point Lake, where several frame homes had roof and exterior wall loss, and one house had its entire second story removed. Mobile homes were heavily damaged or destroyed, one of which was ripped from its anchors and thrown into a tree. An RV, a metal storage shed, and multiple garages were destroyed as well. The tornado then weakened as it moved to the northeast, inflicting less intense damage to houses and mobile homes and snapping many trees before it dissipated near Youngstown.[25] | |||||||

Many trees were snapped or uprooted as this tornado moved through wooded areas. A few homes and mobile homes had roof damage, and several barns and small sheds were damaged as well.[27][28][29] | |||||||
EF2 | S of Marianna to ESE of Bascom | Jackson | FL | 30°42′36″N 85°13′39″W / 30.71°N 85.2276°W | 12:25–12:43 | 16.33 mi (26.28 km) | 600 yd (550 m) |
This strong tornado formed south of Marianna and crossed I-10, where a semi-truck was flipped and numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, one of which fell on and destroyed a mobile home. Several other mobile homes and a frame home had roofing torn off in this area as well. The tornado then damaged the roof of a shed before it strengthened and crossed US 90 at the southeastern outskirts of Marianna, where it struck an RV park. Many RVs were thrown and destroyed at this location, and a few smaller permanent buildings were destroyed as well. A nearby pawn shop was partially unroofed, a gas station was damaged, and some metal storage buildings had their doors blown in and roofs peeled back in this area as well. A church near the RV park had damage to its gables, and a large cinder-block outbuilding on the property collapsed. The tornado then moved through a residential area, where multiple frame homes had their roofs torn off and a few suffered some collapse of exterior walls. Additional frame homes were heavily damaged in the Blue Spring subdivision farther to the northeast, where one home was largely destroyed and a car was flipped. The tornado weakened as it continued through rural areas to the northeast of Marianna, where the roof of a church collapsed, a couple of barns were damaged or destroyed, several mobile homes had minor damage, and many trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado dissipated near Bascom. Seven people were injured at the RV park.[30] | |||||||
EF1 | Western DeFuniak Springs | Walton | FL | 30°44′00″N 86°09′23″W / 30.7333°N 86.1565°W | 13:06–13:07 | 0.35 mi (0.56 km) | 200 yd (180 m) |
A tornado struck the DeFuniak Springs Airport, where a few airplane hangars were damaged. A business had its metal roof blown off, a metal carport was destroyed, and fencing was toppled. Many trees were snapped or uprooted.[31] | |||||||

1 death – This large, long-tracked tornado developed over remote swampland, initially damaging trees, an outbuilding, and a double-wide mobile home as it moved to the northeast. It passed near Graceville and destroyed a pair of 90-foot-tall (27 m) concrete silos. Some homes suffered considerable roof damage in this area, a couple of outbuildings were heavily damaged or destroyed, and a mobile home had its windows blown out. The tornado then inflicted minor roof damage to a small business before it crossed the Florida–Alabama state line and moved through rural areas outside of Madrid. A large McLane Company warehouse had multiple exterior walls blown out in this area. Several houses, mobile homes, and outbuildings had roofing material torn off, a few power poles were snapped, and countless trees were snapped or uprooted along this segment of the path as well. The tornado strengthened as it approached Cottonwood, completely destroying an anchored mobile home. The tornado then moved directly through Cottonwood, where a two-story house had its roof torn off, several other homes and businesses had major roof damage, and one business in the downtown area sustained total collapse of its front masonry wall. A couple of churches also had roof and window damage, a metal building had its wall panels removed, and a cinder-block Moose Lodge building was completely destroyed as the tornado exited town. Significant damage continued to the northeast of Cottonwood as many large hardwood trees were snapped and a mobile home was destroyed, resulting in a fatality. Damage along the remainder of the path mostly consisted of downed trees, though a couple of homes suffered roof damage before tornado dissipated near Gordon.[33][34] | |||||||
