Doubtless there were many tornadoes in 1875, most of which were never reported. Tornado historian Thomas P. Grazulis lists 8 "significant" tornadoes, or tornadoes that result in human fatalities or cause at least F2 damage. These tornadoes are as follows:
- An F3 tornado (or possibly a series of tornadoes) on May 1 tore across rural parts of Alabama and Georgia, killing at least 15 people.
- Another F3 followed a similar path further south on the same day, striking Goodwater and Oak Bowery in Alabama and farm houses in Georgia and Alabama, killing 22 people.
- Another F3 on May 1 passed 20 miles south of Atlanta, destroying several rural homes and killing 4 people.
- An F4 tornado in western Georgia on May 1 destroyed several farms and a plantation, killing 7 people. One house was carried 25 yards.
- Listed as a single F3 tornado, but what was probably a series of as many as 5 tore across portions of Georgia and South Carolina, striking the town of Columbia in the latter state. 8 people died.
- Yet another F3 on May 1 touched down in Georgia, destroying 5 farms and killing 1 person.
- An F2 tornado on May 1 damaged numerous farms in Georgia and south Carolina, killing 1 person.
- Finally, An F3 tornado struck northwestern Ohio on May 9, killing 2 or 3 people.
