This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 2010. The majority of tornadoes form in the U.S., but they can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions. A lesser number occur outside the U.S., most notably in parts of neighboring southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer season, but are also known in Europe, Asia, and Australia.

As of June 17, there have been 775 tornadoes reported in the US in 2010 (of which at least 354 were confirmed), with 25 confirmed fatalities. Elsewhere in the world, 5 people were killed in tornadoes, three in the Bahamas, one in Bangladesh, and one in Germany. The year has been well below average for tornadoes thus far due to an extremely quiet early spring period, even after a huge upswing starting in late April.[1]

Synopsis

The year started with above-normal activity in January, primarily as a result of a single moderate outbreak late in the month. After that, arctic air settled in across the central and southern United States, suppressing warm air to the Caribbean, and as a result, February saw only one isolated tornado as the air mass throughout the month was highly unfavorable for any severe weather development. In early March, predictions for an active tornado season were voiced by meteorologists should the pattern continue as it had during January and February,[2] with El Nino also cited as possibly bringing an above average season.[3] However, March and the first half of April also had well below normal activity, and overall the early spring period was among the least active in recent years. Through mid-April, the season had been one of the least active in the historical record (see graphic above right). Two very large tornado outbreaks in late April ended the slow period, pushing April activity to near normal. May, which is typically the most active month for tornado activity, was slightly above normal, as several larger outbreaks were spread throughout the month.

A separate system developed in the south-central US on January 20 in an unstable air mass. Numerous tornadoes were reported, with severe damage particularly around Waskom, Texas from an EF3 tornado where buildings were destroyed and people reported trapped but were not injured. Other tornadoes were reported in East Texas and Louisiana.[7] Significant damage also took place in Larue, Texas and Canton, Texas, both from EF2 tornadoes.[8] As many as 150 homes were damaged in Van Zandt County, Texas.[9] Fifty homes in Hopkins County, Texas has roof damage.[10]

As the cyclone tracked east, additional storms developed on the afternoon of January 21 in central Tennessee and northern Alabama, with two tornadoes reported in these areas.[11] Significant damage was reported in the Five Points neighborhood of Huntsville and in downtown Huntsville from these storms.[12] The tornado in Huntsville was rated an EF2.[13]

February

There was 1 confirmed tornado reported in the US in February. This set a new monthly record low for February.[14]

February 17 (Bangladesh)

A tornado tore through 22 villages in Maheshpur, Bangladesh damaging about 1,250 homes and several acres of crops. The tornado killed 1 child and injured around 150 other people.[15]

A tornado touched down near the town of Hammon in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma on the early evening of March 8 and was reported by spotters around 5:29 p.m. CST.[17] The tornado tore roofs off at least four homes and caused damage to other structures in Hammon, according to Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management officials with the Roger Mills County Sheriff's Office reporting the county barn was destroyed, leaving behind significant debris.[18] Another home was destroyed with only the center portion remaining. No injuries were reported with the storm. This tornado was officially rated an EF2 by the NWS.[18] A second tornado was reported just north of Butler in Dewey County, Oklahoma at 6:17 p.m. CST, it was rated EF0. The tornadoes formed from a low-top supercell and occurred while temperatures were in the mid-to-upper 50s (near 15°C) in the affected areas, which normally does not favor tornadic development; though the storm was in a narrow instability axis in Western Oklahoma that developed due to clearing from earlier thunderstorms.

Severe weather developed from the northern Gulf Coast up to the Ozarks. The hardest-hit state was Arkansas, where a long-lived supercell tracked across the state, producing at least three tornadoes with houses destroyed. A 79-year-old man was killed and at least three others were injured from an EF2 tornado in Cleburne County. It was the first killer tornado in the US since October 9, 2009.[19] More tornadoes continued to touchdown throughout the night of March 10. In Independence County an EF1 tornado touched down near the town of Rosie. This tornado was short-lived, but destroyed chicken houses killing or displacing 80,000 chickens.[20] Two tornadoes touched down in White County both rated EF1. The first touched down around 8:25 (CDT) near Center Hill. This tornado destroyed at least nine houses and injured one person. The second tornado was short lived and touched down near the town of Steprock. The final tornado to touchdown in Arkansas touched down in Saline County near the town of Congo; this tornado was rated EF1.

A low pressure system pushed northward through the Ohio Valley on March 28. Several tornadoes were reported in the warm sector stretching from North Carolina south to Florida. The Piedmont Triad was hardest hit, and a tornado emergency was declared for parts of Forsyth, Randolph, Davidson, and Guilford counties.[21] There, a mobile home park was heavily damaged with many injuries reported near High Point. At least 200 houses were also damaged by that EF3 tornado. Damage was also reported near Charlotte.[22] An EF2 tornado hit Linwood in Davidson County.[23][24]

The same system produced a weak EF0 tornado on the morning of March 29 in South Florida and at least one, possibly two, tornadoes at Freeport on Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas. The Freeport Container Port was heavily damaged, and three people were killed and several others injured by that tornado. That tornado has not been rated on either the Fujita scale or the Enhanced Fujita scale.[25]

April

There were 197 tornadoes reported in the US in April, of which at least 98 were confirmed.

April 8

Isolated severe weather occurred across southern Alabama, southern Georgia, and northern Florida during the afternoon and evening of April 8, 2010. The synoptic pattern that led to the convection, consisted of mid and upper level troughing over much of the eastern United States, and an associated surface cold front advancing eastward along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast. Shortwave energy was rounding the base of the longwave trough through the day and was the main trigger for the vigorous convection.

The first tornadic thunderstorms across the forecast area developed early in the afternoon over Coffee County, Alabama. A weak EF0 tornado first touched down just east of Alabama Highway 87. The next area of damage was reported east northeast from this initial touchdown along CR-611, where a barn was destroyed and several trees snapped. The final area of damage was reported north of Alabama Highway 134, where a roof was taken off the porch of a house along with a portion of the roof over the kitchen. Figure 2 shows the 0.5 degree reflectivity and storm relative velocity from the KEOX WSR-88D radar shortly before the tornado. A pronounced rotational couplet (mesocyclone) is seen in the velocity image near Damascus, Alabama.

The second tornado of the day developed from a fast-moving storm that crossed Gadsden County, Florida during mid-afternoon. This tornado was also brief and rated EF0. The tornado touched down in the vicinity of Quincy, Florida, just southwest of Florida Highway 267, and tracked northeast onto Holt Lane. Damage southwest of Holt Lane was limited to trees either snapped or uprooted. A few structures were damaged on Holt Lane, primarily due to falling trees. One outbuilding lost its roof as a result of the tornado. The tornado continued northeast, crossing Interstate 10 near exit 181. Trees were reported uprooted or snapped on both sides of the highway. The tornado appears to have lifted shortly after crossing the Interstate.[26]

With the instability and shear ahead of the cold front, a line of showers and thunderstorms developed, and at 4:50 pm produced an EF1 tornado with winds of 80 to 90 miles an hour. The damage spanned a 2-mile long and up to 50 yard wide path across Morgan County, Georgia from High Shoals Road to the Apalachee River.

Five homes and one chicken house were damaged, and five outbuildings were either damaged or destroyed. The most severely damaged house was located approximately in the middle of the two mile path. The front porch of the house was destroyed, a portion of the roof had been blown off, and a tree fell on the back of the house. Other damage included shingles ripped off roofs, a few broken windows, and some tree limbs driven into roofs and outer walls. [27]

April 22–25

A complex weather system began to track across the central and southern United States beginning on April 22. That afternoon, tornadoes developed across eastern Colorado and from western Kansas southward to the Texas Panhandle. As instability increased, a moderate risk of severe weather - the first such upgrade of 2010 - was issued for the area around Amarillo, Texas. The largest tornado, rated EF2, was reported near Kendall, Kansas reported as 1 mile (1.6 km) wide according to KSNG coverage. Another large wedge tornado was reported near Friend, Kansas and tracked to Scott City, Kansas where several farm buildings were destroyed.[28] There were 40 tornadoes that were reported that day.[28]

Another moderate risk of severe weather was issued for April 23 across much of the southern United States. 18 tornadoes were reported; most of them north of St. Louis, Missouri outside the moderate risk area.

A high risk of severe weather has been issued for April 24.[29] High risk days are rarely issued.[30] Four "particularly dangerous situation" tornado watches were issued that day for areas of Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama.[31][32][33][34] Numerous tornado warnings citing "large and extremely dangerous" tornadoes were issued. A tornado emergency was issued for central Mississippi for a tornado that reportedly flattened 30 homes near Eagle Bend in Warren County, leveled numerous buildings, injured numerous people and destroyed a church with Yazoo City taking a direct hit from the 1/2 to 3/4 mile-wide tornado which would soon be rated as an EF4. Ten people were killed, including four people in Yazoo County, one in Holmes County and five more in Choctaw County.[35] Significant damage to an industrial plant with injuries, trapped people and destroyed homes have been reported in Madison Parish, Louisiana near the Louisiana-Mississippi state line. There were 77 tornadoes reported for that day.[36]

Dr. Greg Forbes of the Weather Channel said that the radar was picking up debris on a thunderstorm near Yazoo City, indicating extreme damage. He said he has not seen anything like that since a tornado hit Greensburg, KS.[37]

The National Weather Service also confirmed two tornado touchdowns in the St. Louis, Missouri area on April 24, 2010 both were rated as EF0 with the strongest winds recorded at 85 mph. One touchdown was in the Des Peres area while the other touched down in the University City area. No injuries were reported from the twisters. The tornadoes knocked down some power lines and trees and caused mostly minor damages to homes and businesses.[38]

A strong low pressure system tracked across the Midwest beginning on April 29. A few tornadoes were reported from Kansas to Iowa that day, but with little damage.

A moderate risk of severe weather was issued on April 30 for a large swath from northern Illinois to southern Arkansas. Late that afternoon, tornadoes began to develop across the Ozarks and multiple tornado warnings were issued. Also, in less than a week, another PDS Tornado Watch was issued for Arkansas, Oklahoma, the Missouri Bootheel, and Texas. That evening in central Arkansas, the moderate risk was upgraded to a high risk for the second time in less than a week. Significant damage was reported in several areas.[39] KARK coverage reported that an tornado touched down in Scotland, Arkansas and major damage, at least 25 injuries and at least one fatality were reported there.[40][41][42] In East End, Arkansas, major damage was also reported with several injuries.

Another high risk was issued for May 1 for Arkansas, northern Mississippi, West Tennessee, southwestern Kentucky and southeastern Missouri, the first occurrence of back-to-back high risk days since 2006. Activity began in the afternoon on the warm front, where a destructive tornado touched down in northeastern Mississippi with severe damage near Ripley.[43] Yet again, another PDS Tornado watch was issued for Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.[44]

May

There were 290 tornadoes reported in the US in May, of which at least 139 were confirmed.

May 6

At least 51[45] people were killed after a tornado, hail storms, gale-force winds and torrential rains causing mudslides hit southern China, damaging thousands of homes and destroying crops. The number of people killed by the tornado itself is unknown.[46][47] Twenty-nine people were killed in Chongqing municipality, where the tornado is reported to have occurred.[48]

An intense trough with dry line activity moved across the southern plains, especially Oklahoma and Kansas, on May 10. For the fourth time in less than three weeks, a high risk of severe weather was issued. Large tornadoes began developing in the mid-afternoon hours in northern Oklahoma, with significant damage in Medford, Oklahoma by an EF3.[49] Another tornado touched down near Yukon, Oklahoma in the western part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, followed by numerous others in the area. A trailer park was flattened near Norman, Oklahoma according to KWTV coverage, with at least one fatality and many injuries reported. This tornado was soon rated as an EF4. Within three hours, at least 34 reports of tornadoes, including a few "large and extremely dangerous" tornadoes, were reported. A large grocery store along Highway 9 near Norman was flattened by a large tornado. A long-lived supercell tracked parallel to Interstate 40, and produced one or more large and destructive tornadoes from the Oklahoma City metro area through eastern Oklahoma. Activity slowed down the next day as only 2 tornadoes were reported in Ohio.[50] However, on May 12, tornado activity increased.[51] A dry line moved through west Texas, causing multiple tornadoes in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma.[52] Finally, on May 13, the dry line dissipated, but many tornadoes still formed on that day.[53] One tornado in Missouri was rated an EF1 after it destroyed a casino park and a Pizza Hut location.[54] Activity died down the next day as now flooding was more associated with the storm system then tornadoes.

On May 14, a tornado formed in New Mexico at the tail end of an occluded front that had produced tornadoes in Oklahoma earlier in the week.[55] The next day, on May 15, an EF0 tornado touched down SW of Laplace, Louisiana with an injury reported. 3 possible tornadoes formed in Colorado and Wyoming. Another tornado, with some accounts of a waterspout moving onshore, formed near the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport in Mississippi.[56] On May 16, a tornado formed in Nebraska and other reports of tornadoes were located in Missouri and in Kansas.

Another round of severe weather developed across the High Plains on May 18. At least 25 tornadoes were reported from Wyoming to the Texas Panhandle including just outside the Denver metropolitan area. However, most of the tornadoes were in open country, and damage was generally minimal.[57]

More severe weather was expected on May 19, particularly over Oklahoma and North Texas. A high risk of severe weather and a PDS tornado watch was issued for central Oklahoma as a result. Numerous tornadoes were reported across the area, although only a few resulted in significant damage as a forecasted major tornado outbreak did not occur.[58]

The severe weather shifted north as a new low pressure system tracked across the northern Plains states on May 22. Isolated tornadoes were reported across portions of central South Dakota that afternoon.[59] The most intense supercell produced a long-lived wedge tornado in and around Bowdle, South Dakota where numerous houses and farm buildings were destroyed and cars were thrown into the air. It was rated as an EF4, but fortunately remained in rural countryside and no injuries were reported.[60]

May 24 (Germany)

A tornado outbreak struck the eastern German states of Brandenburg and Saxony on May 24. A wide F2 - F3 tornado moved along ca. 100 km distance between the region of Torgau in northern Saxony and east of Dresden near the Czech border. Most damage occurred in the Brandenburg town of Mühlberg and the Saxon town of Großenhain, as well as in Belgern and Radeburg. A six-year-old girl was killed in Großenhain when a tree limb fell on the car she was sitting in. The Mühlberg monastery church was "substantially damaged" by the 300 meter wide tornado there; a "hall" collapsed in Großenhain, along with serious damage to a concrete slab apartment building. Damage in Großenhain alone was estimated at topping 8 million Euro, with over 3000 buildings damaged. 38 people were injured, with schools closed the next day. The bridge at Mühlberg, linking the two states, was also closed temporarily due to damage to its guardrails.[61][62][63][64]

An EF1 tornado was confirmed in the Bergholz area on June 2. [70] It was part of a severe weather situation from a squall line that moved into Ohio. [71] The tornado damaged some houses and destroyed several trees. Although there were no human fatalities, 2 horses were confirmed killed by flying debris. 2 additional tornadoes formed near the Texas coastline from another squall line, rated EF0 near the Chapman Ranch and EF2 in Refigio, Texas. [72] One more tornado was confirmed near Shin Pond, Maine that damaged many trees.

More severe weather developed across the Midwest on June 5. A few tornadoes developed primarily in Ohio that afternoon, but the most serious activity developed that evening. Several tornadoes took place in Iowa and more in Illinois.[74] One especially large tornado resulted in a tornado emergency being declared that evening for Peoria, Illinois after causing severe damage in Elmwood, Illinois. A second strong tornado formed shortly after the Elmwood, Illinois tornado in Putnam County just west of Henry, Illinois. The tornado tracked through southern La Salle County where it caused significant damage (EF2) in Magnolia, Illinois and Streator, Illinois. This tornado continued on a long track and impacted Dwight, Illinois where over 40 mobile homes were destroyed and near St. Anne, Illinois where the tornado was rated as EF3. Significant damage was also reported in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. Several more tornado warnings were issued in Southern Michigan that night, and into the early morning. Counties under warnings included Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Hillsdale, Jackson, Branch, Berrien, Van Buren, Saint Joseph, Washtenaw, Wayne, and Monroe counties. Damage reported included a flagpole bent at a right angle. A state of emergency was also declared for the town of Leamington, Ontario after extensive damage was reported due to an F1 tornado confirmed by Environment Canada. [75] [76] Six people were confirmed dead in Wood County, Ohio just outside Toledo after an EF4 tornado hit the town of Millbury, Ohio in the middle of the night. [77]

June 17

Main article: Mid-June 2010 tornado outbreak

An intense low pressure system developed across the northern Plains states and impacted the region on June 17. At least 61 tornadoes were reported that afternoon and evening, primarily across North Dakota and Minnesota.[78] Significant damage was reported west of Grand Forks, North Dakota and in the Wadena, Minnesota area, and a tornado emergency was issued for areas north of Wadena and again later for areas near Plummer, Minnesota where significant damage was reported. Much of Wadena was destroyed by its tornado.[79] Three people were killed; one in Almora, Minnesota[80], one in Mentor, Minnesota; and a third in Freeborn County, Minnesota.[81]
