The usual death toll for a tornado is zero.

Most tornadoes never kill. The United States has over 1000 tornadoes on average each year, but averages 60 deaths.

As an example, there were nearly 1700 tornadoes in the U.S. in 2008, of those 38 were killers with a combined death toll of 126.

Looking at statistics from the past 10 years, the average killer tornado killed 4.5 (or between 4 and 5 people), however, this is figure skewed by three extremely deadly tornadoes in 2011. With these factored out we have an average of about 3 people. Still, this data is skewed by a the few deadliest tornadoes.

With the same data we get a median death toll of 2 and the most common death toll was 1 (accounting for 121 of the 244 killer tornadoes). So the typical death toll for killer tornado a tornado is 1 or 2.

Of the tornadoes of the past 10 years the deadliest killed 158 people. Note that this was the deadliest tornado to hit the U.S. since 1947.
