The total number is not known. There were 201 recorded tornadoes in the United States in 1950, but at the time, the vast majority of F0 and F1 tornadoes were missed. These account for about 90% of tornadoes today. So the actual number of tornadoes in 1950 was, without a doubt, much higher. Based on modern percentages we can estimate that the United States probably had between 750 and 1150 tornadoes in 1950, more likely near the higher end of that range.
