For the U.S. the 5 deadliest years for tornado deaths were 1925 (794 deaths), 1936 (552 deaths), 1917 (551 deaths), 1927 (540 deaths), and 2011 (540 deaths so far).

Worldwide statistics are harder to come by as many countries do not keep records, and thus only rough estimates are available in many cases. Here are a few of the deadliest years for global tornado deaths, excluding the ones above:

1989 (over 1300), 1973 (over 900), 1996 (over 700), 1969 (over 900, possibly over 1600, much uncertainty), 1551* (over 600)

It is interesting to note that the majority of the deaths in these years can be attributed to individual tornadoes all of which were in Bangladesh except for the 1551 tornado, which hit Malta.

*tornado responsible for these deaths may have been in 1556. Sources conflict.
