This page documents notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 2020. Strong and destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Eastern India, but can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions. Tornadoes also develop occasionally in southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer and somewhat regularly at other times of the year across Europe, Asia, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. Tornadic events are often accompanied by other forms of severe weather, including strong thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail.

There have been 589 preliminary filtered reports of tornadoes in the United States in 2020,[1] of which at least 454 have been confirmed. Worldwide, 74 tornado-related deaths have been confirmed, all in the United States, thus making the 2020 season the deadliest in the country since 2011.[2]

An enhanced risk of severe weather was in place across parts of Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, and Arkansas as well. Only weak tornadoes touched down in the moderate risk area, though a few strong tornadoes occurred elsewhere. A large EF3 tornado struck the city of Jonesboro, Arkansas, while being streamed live on local news stations, producing major damage to homes, businesses, and a shopping mall. Vehicles were thrown and mangled, and the local airport sustained severe damage as well. A train was also derailed, and 22 injuries occurred in Jonesboro.[27][28][29][30][31] The same storm that produced this tornado also produced two EF1 tornadoes, one before and one after it moved over Jonesboro.[32][30] Into the evening, numerous weak tornadoes touched down in Iowa and Illinois, and another in southwest Wisconsin. This included an EF1 tornado that caused moderate damage to apartment buildings and trees in Oelwein, Iowa.[29] A low-end EF2 tornado moved through the southern fringes of Henderson, Kentucky, destroying numerous outbuildings and a barn, and damaging dozens of homes and trees.[33] Another EF2 struck the town of Newburgh, Indiana, where five homes sustained partial to total roof removal, and one home had a few upper floor exterior walls ripped off. Numerous other homes in town sustained less severe damage, and two people were injured in Newburgh.[34]

On the morning of April 12, the SPC issued a moderate risk of severe weather for much of the Southern United States, including a 15% risk of tornadoes. From the late morning of April 12 through the early morning of April 13, a major and deadly tornado outbreak unfolded across the region, with many strong to violent tornadoes touching down and causing major damage and numerous fatalities. Over a 48 hour period from nighttime on April 11 to the evening of April 13, 138 tornadoes touched down from Texas to Maryland. This event was well forecasted, with the Storm Prediction Center issuing severe weather outlooks as early as five days before the outbreak. At 10:40 a.m. CDT on April 12, a Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch was issued by the Storm Prediction Center across northeast Louisiana, southeast Arkansas, and central and northern Mississippi.[46] At 11:44 a.m. CDT, a tornado emergency was issued for Monroe, Louisiana as an EF3 tornado moved through the city, causing significant damage to more than 200 homes, as well as the Monroe Regional Airport.[47][48][49] At 3:30 p.m. CDT, two back-to-back supercells produced three intense and long-tracked tornadoes in southern Mississippi, including two rated EF4. The violent tornadoes promted the National Weather Service in Jackson, Mississippi to issue multiple tornado emergencies for numerous towns. The first of these two EF4 tornadoes leveled and swept away homes near Sartinville, Mississippi, killing four. The second one reached high-end EF4 strength as it completely debarked trees, lofted vehicles hundreds of yards through the air, and obliterated well-built homes and structures in and around the towns of Bassfield, Soso, and Moss. This high-end EF4 tornado killed eight people, and was the largest tornado ever recorded in Mississippi state history. At 4:40 p.m. CDT, a second PDS watch was issued affecting extreme southeast Mississippi and most of Alabama, including the cities of Mobile, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and Birmingham.[50] As the system progressed northeastward into the nighttime hours, another tornado emergency was issued, this time at 11:28 p.m. EDT for the towns of Ooltewah and Collegedale as a deadly EF3 tornado struck the eastern suburbs of Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing three and injuring 19.[51][52] A deadly high-end EF2 tornado also impacted the small community of Sumac, Georgia, destroying several mobile homes and killing seven people.[53]

During the early morning hours April 13, the storms that formed the day before congealed into a strong squall line as they advanced into eastern Georgia and the Carolinas. Multiple embedded circulations and semi-discrete supercells within the line spawned numerous strong and deadly tornadoes across the region.[54][55] 10 tornadoes of EF3 or greater strength occurred on day two of the outbreak, including eight in South Carolina, where nine tornado-related fatalities occurred. The most significant tornado that occurred on April 13 was a 3/4-mile wide EF4 in Hampton County, South Carolina that destroyed many homes and took the lives of five people near Estill and Nixville.[56] Another high-end EF3 struck Seneca, South Carolina, destroying multiple homes and a manufacturing plant, killing one person.[57]

With 32 tornado-related fatalities, it was the deadliest outbreak since April 27–30, 2014.[58]

On April 19, the SPC issued a moderate risk of severe weather for much of the Deep South, including a 15% hatched risk of tornadoes.[59] Later that evening, a large, violent EF4 tornado moved through or near the rural Mississippi communities of Hurricane Creek, Sandy Hook, Pine Burr, and areas north of Purvis, Mississippi, killing one person and injuring another. A well-built house was leveled by this tornado, and numerous other homes and mobile homes were damaged or destroyed as well. Numerous trees were also snapped and partially debarked along the path.[60][61] Later that evening, an EF2 tornado caused severe damage to a duplex, a home, some chicken houses, and other structures near Andalusia, Alabama, injuring one person.[62] An EF1 tornado caused damage to multiple mobile homes and destroyed an RV camper near Robertsdale, Alabama as well, causing another injury.[63] An EF2 tornado also struck the small community of Tumbleton, Alabama, tearing the roofs off of some homes and a business, and causing one fatality when a mobile home was destroyed.[64]

Early on April 20, another EF2 tornado heavily damaged several homes and a mobile home near Bridgeboro, Georgia.[65] Later on, several more tornadoes were reported throughout the morning into the afternoon in Central Florida.[66] An EF0 tornado caused considerable damage to mobile homes and businesses in Homosassa and Homosassa Springs, Florida.[67][68] Later, an EF1 tornado was caught on video lifting a stationary construction trailer across Interstate 75 in Wildwood, Florida.[69][70] A total of 22 tornadoes were confirmed as a result of this outbreak, which resulted in two fatalities.[71]

EF2 damage to a manufacturing facility in Madill, Oklahoma.

On the morning of April 22, the SPC issued an enhanced risk of severe weather for parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas, which included a 10% hatched risk of tornadoes. Later that evening, multiple supercell thunderstorms developed and several tornadoes struck southern Oklahoma east of I-35, including a high-end EF2 tornado that killed two people and injured at least 30 others in Madill. Industrial buildings were severely damaged at two manufacturing facilities in Madill, while a few homes and mobile homes in town were damaged or destroyed.[72] Several EF1 tornadoes also caused damage to homes, outbuildings, and trees near Wapanucka, Pauls Valley, and Armstrong. Farther south, an isolated, long-tracked supercell tracked from East Texas to Western Mississippi, producing numerous strong and fatal tornadoes along the way. A deadly EF3 wedge tornado moved through San Jacinto and Polk County, Texas around 6:00 p.m. CDT, leaving three dead and causing severe damage in Onalaska and Seven Oaks. Numerous homes and mobile homes were also damaged or destroyed along the path of this tornado, and 33 others were injured.[73][74] The same cell warranted tornado emergencies for Jasper, Texas at 7:08 p.m. CDT and Fort Polk, Louisiana at 8:13 p.m. CDT respectfully. An EF2 tornado also passed just south of Alexandria, Louisiana, damaging structures at LSU-Alexandria, and killing one person east of Woodworth when a mobile home was destroyed.[75][76] The system continued eastward into Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia on April 23, producing additional tornadoes. An early morning EF2 significantly damaged airplane hangars near Bunkie, Louisiana, while a massive EF2 wedge tornado mowed down hundreds of trees and destroyed half of a chicken house near Soso, Mississippi, which had been devastated by an EF4 tornado 11 days prior. Another large EF2 downed numerous trees, tore much of the roof off a house, and destroyed a metal building near McComb. Numerous tornadoes touched down in Florida later that day, most of which were weak. However, an EF2 tornado caused considerable damage near Marianna. Overall, this outbreak produced 42 tornadoes and resulted in six fatalities.[77]
