What are 3 examples of tornadoes in the last 5 years?

There have been thousands of tornadoes in the last 5 years. These are the 3 most notable.The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011. This EF5 tornado devastated Joplin, killing 158 people and costing $2.8 billion. This makes it the costliest tornado in U.S. history, the 7th deadliest, and the deadliest since 1947.The Hackleburg, Alabama tornado of April 27, 2011. This EF5 tornado devastated a series of small towns in northern Alabama along a damage path over 130 miles long. The tornado killed 72 people and cost $1.25 billion. This makes it the deadliest tornado in Alabama history and the 4th costliest in U.S. history.The Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado of April 27, 2011. This EF4 (possibly EF5) tornado devastated parts of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama, killing 64 people and causing $2.2 billion in damage. This makes it the second deadliest tornado in Alabama history and the second costliest in U.S. history. It briefly haled the title of costliest until the Joplin tornado 3 weeks later. This and the Hackleburg tornado were part of the 2011 Super Outbreak, the largest and costliest tornado outbreak ever recorded.


What are the names of famous tornados?

the Moore/bridge creek Oklahoma tornado is very very famous. the tri-state tornado is also a extremely well known tornado and then the greensburg kansas tornado is one of the most famous in the last ten years. you can also put parkersburg Iowa in that catergory as well. X An improved and more detailed answer: The tornado that hit New Richmond, Wisconsin on June 12th of 1899 actually started out as a waterspout that formed over Lake St. Croix. From there, it headed east in the direction of New Richmond and produced winds so strong that they carried a 3000-pound safe for an entire city block before dropping it again. The amount of flying debris was massive and, coupled with the wind, destroyed or damaged over 300 buildings. The tornado struck on the opening day of the Gollmar Brother Circus which brought a large population swell into the small town in anticipation of the festivities that would be seen there. Just after the circus had ended for that day, at approximately 5:40 p.m., the tornado moved through the very center of town, leveling a strip of town that was 1000 feet wide and 3000 feet long. In addition, 26 different families had multiple deaths within them. One hundred seventeen people were killed in the New Richmond tornado and 150 more people were injured. The tornado was not massive, but the path that it took and the unfortunate timing that it had made it especially destructive, as did its strong winds and F5 rating. The tornado caused $600,000 worth of damage at that time, which would be over $14 million in today's dollars !
