Tornado TracksThis feature layer, utilizing data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), displays tornadoes in the United States, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands between 1950 and 2024. A tornado track shows the route of a tornado. Per NOAA, "A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Because wind is invisible, it is hard to see a tornado unless it forms a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust and debris. Tornadoes can be among the most violent phenomena of all atmospheric storms we experience. The most destructive tornadoes occur from supercells, which are rotating thunderstorms with a well-defined radar circulation called a mesocyclone. (Supercells can also produce damaging hail, severe non-tornadic winds, frequent lightning, and flash floods.)"EF-5 Tornado Track (May 3, 1999) near Oklahoma City, OklahomaData currency: December 30, 2024Data source: Storm Prediction CenterData modifications: Added field "Date_Calc"For more information: Severe Weather 101 - Tornadoes; NSSL Research: TornadoesSupport documentation: SPC Tornado, Hail, and Wind Database Format SpecificationFor feedback, please contact: ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.comNational Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministrationPer NOAA, its mission is "To understand and predict changes in climate, weather, ocean, and coasts, to share that knowledge and information with others, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources."

Tornado paths and starting/touchdown points in Oakland County, Michigan circa 1953-2015. Data provided by NOAA, OCIT, and Matt Malone of Farmington Hills GIS. Originally published as April 2017 Map of the Month

This dataset represents tornado tracks in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, from 1950 to 2013. Statistical data were obtained from the National Weather Service, Storm Prediction Center (SPC).

NWS Atlanta tornado damage paths accessed from NOAA/NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT) are mapped from 2011 when the DAT application was implemented operationally for post-event assessment at NWS Atlanta to the present date. DAT tornado paths show the storm track as they are created by connecting the centerline of damage indicator locations logged using the DAT mobile GIS application during post-event tornado surveys. The paths are classified by the highest Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale magnitude the storm achieved. Because of this, the EF magnitude of the tornado may not be reflective of the actual strength of the tornado at a particular location. The DAT polygon data is considered more useful to explore the evolution of the strength of the tornado along its path.While data in the DAT have been quality controlled, this data is considered to be preliminary while official storm data can be found using a web-based GIS service at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/IPS/sd/sd.html. In addition to DAT storm path data, DAT polygon and point data can be accessed at https://apps.dat.noaa.gov/stormdamage/damageviewer/. This layer supports the NWS Atlanta Damage Assessment Toolkit Tornado Polygons (2011-Present) map, which can be accessed at https://arcg.is/1a1yTi0. The NWS Atlanta Damage Assessment Toolkit Tornado Polygons (2011-Present) map supports the NWS Atlanta Tornado Climatology Dashboard web map application, which can be accessed at https://arcg.is/1yTWuz.

Average damage assessment for areas in tornado path.

These tornado paths range from 1951 to 2010. They have been clipped from a national dataset to only include tornadoes within the Regional Resources Inventory boundary. The attributes contain the time, date, and intensity of the tornado while also providing some description of the destruction caused.
