List of United States tornadoes in 1950

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page documents all the known tornadoes that touched down in the United States during 1950. Hundreds of tornadoes went unnoticed in 1950 as only 201 were officially confirmed, compared to the average of over 1,000 per year.

The total count of tornadoes and ratings differs from various agencies accordingly. The article, therefore, documents information from the most contemporary official sources alongside assessments from tornado historian Thomas P. Grazulis.

From 1952 to 1994, reports largely list mean width whereas contemporary years list maximum width.[12] Values provided by Grazulis are the average width, with estimates being rounded down (i.e. 0.5 mi (0.80 km) is rounded down from 880 yards to 800 yards.[13][14]
