Biggest outbreak of tornadoes: The Super Outbreak, in which 148 tornadoes affected 13 states on April 3 and 4, 1974.

Highest winds in a tornado: The F5 tornado that moved into Oklahoma City on May 3, 1999. A doppler radar near the tornado measured winds of up to 318 mph inside the cyclone.

Fastest ground speed: 73 mph (117 km/h) from the Tri-State Tornado

Slowest ground speed: Less than 10 mph (16 km/h) during the Jarrell Tornado.

Costliest tornado: The F5 tornado that moved into Oklahoma City on May 3, 1999. That tornado caused $1.24 billion in damage.

Last tornado to kill more than 40 people: April 10, 1979 - Wichita Falls, Texas - 45 dead.

First confirmed tornado in the U.S.: July 8, 1680 - Cambridge, Massachusetts - 1 dead.

Deadliest tornado of the 80s: May 22, 1987 - Saragosa, Texas - 23 dead.

Biggest outbreak in the fall: 143 tornadoes broke out in 41 hours of continuous tornado activity from November 21 to 23, 1992.

Longest span without an F5 tornado: Probably as of this writing. As of February 7, it has been 4 years 280 days since the United States has had a F5 tornado. The last hit in Oklahoma City during the May 3, 1999 event.

Latest in the year without a tornado: The first confirmed tornado of 2003 hit in Mississippi on February 15.

Slowest years for tornado outbreaks: Probably the 10 most insignificant years of the last 50 for tornado outbreaks were 1994, 1988, 1986, 1983, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1972, 1969, and 1954.

Most tornadoes spawned from a hurricane: Atleast 115 tornadoes were spawned from Hurricane Beulah between September 20 to 22, 1967.

Most significant coincidence: A small town in Kansas called Codell was hit by a tornado on the same exact day three years straight! A tornado hit on May 20, 1916, 1917, and 1918. The U.S. gets 100,000 storms a year; only 1% produces a tornado. The odds of this coincidence occurring again is practically infinitesimal to nonexistent.
