In 2023 there currently have been 1165 confirmed tornadoes in the United States (as of Nov 27). That's just under the annual average. For some storm chasers, 2023 was a great year, for others, very challenging and disappointing. Though I documented 20 tornadoes, I personally fall somewhere in between as I missed the majority of the spectacularly photogenic tornado events in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado. The year was characterized by nontypical chase setups in fringe states like Mississippi, Arkansas and Illinois as well as several hard to forecast long range, upslope set ups in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas had lower than average storm events it seems as the days of May Lee Low triple point set-ups rolling across the Plains were almost absent. Remarkable supercell structures were abundant across the entire alley.
REMARKABLE STORM EVENTS FEATURED:
On March 24, Powerful Tornadoes impacted MS, AL and TN at night. Morning light revealed catastrophic EF4 rated damage in Rolling Fork Mississippi
where 17 people lost their lives. Storm Chaser Brandon Clement documented the incredible damage with his drone. See his incredible video on his channel here...
3.31 ARKANSAS
Racing toward me at 50 mph was a killer EF3 In Arkansas. After ripping through Little Rock and Jacksonville, this tornado would injure 50 people
and miraculously only one fatality was reported. However, this outbreak was just beginning. another large, intense tornado was about to tear through Wynne Arkansas. In its wake of obliterated homes, the high end EF3 claimed the lives of 4 people.
4.04 ILLINOIS & IOWA
A fast moving tornadic supercell tracked from Missouri into Illinois. Several chasers were hit by a tornado with max EF3 rated damage. Luckily, the chasers would all survive. Because of the the high precipitation storm mode, extremely fast cell motion and difficult chasing terrain, I kept my distance. Over in Iowa, Scott Currens was documenting an incredibly photogenic tornado. See his footage here...
4.19 KANSAS
One storm in eastern Kansas would produce 8 tornadoes after sunset that would traverse mostly open country in the Flint Hills. Elsewhere near OKC, interacting supercells danced in a Fujiwhara effect producing numerous tornadoes.
5.12 NEBRASKA
A long tracking EF2 would track North near Lyons Nebraska where it was wrapped in heavy rain. a couple other EF2s would touch down during this outbreak including a photogenic tornado producer near Greeley and Spaulding Nebraska.
6.15 TEXAS & OKLAHOMA
The event of the day was a deadly EF3 tornado tearing through Perryton Texas, ending the lives of 3 people and injuring 100 others.
6.21 MATADOR TEXAS
On June 21, another extremely dangerous storm was tracking over a region with limited roads. While I was giving the storm a wide birth, Daniel Shaw managed to capture and report the intense rain-wrapped tornado prior to it striking Matador Texas. His reports directly resulted in locals seeking shelter. Unfortunately 4 deaths occurred. You can see Daniel's incredible account of this event here...
6.23 WYOMING
On June 23 in I finally scored some pretty tornadoes in Wyoming. The largest of the tornadoes would impact the outskirts of the small town Hawk Springs. No fatalities were reported. Chasing around the scenic bluffs and challenging road network, I managed to eek out a couple more tornadoes as the cyclic supercell moved into Nebraska. A damaging tornado would prompt a tornado emergency in Scott's Bluff and Gering as locals evacuated town. Fortunately no fatalities occurred.

Start of Terrible Tornado in America - Shocking Tornadoes Siren
Tornadoes are nature's most destructive and awe-inspiring phenomena. These powerful whirlwinds can strike with little warning, leaving devastation in their wake. Understanding the impact of tornadoes and having effective warning systems in place is crucial to saving lives and minimizing damage.
Understanding Tornadoes
Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. They form when warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, creating instability in the atmosphere. The United States experiences more tornadoes than any other country, with a region known as Tornado Alley being particularly susceptible.
There are different types of tornadoes, ranging from weak tornadoes that cause minimal damage to violent tornadoes capable of leveling entire communities. The Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale is used to classify tornadoes based on the damage they inflict.
Tornado Warning Systems
Early warning systems are essential for providing advance notice of impending tornadoes. Tornado sirens are a crucial component of these warning systems, designed to alert communities of an approaching tornado. Modern tornado sirens use advanced technology to detect severe weather conditions and automatically activate when necessary.
The Start of the Terrible Tornado
On a fateful afternoon, a massive supercell thunderstorm began brewing in the heart of America. As atmospheric conditions intensified, the first signs of a tornado began to take shape. The air grew heavy, and the sky darkened as the funnel cloud touched the ground.
The tornado's immense power was evident as it tore through everything in its path. Trees were uprooted, buildings were reduced to rubble, and debris filled the air like confetti. The terrifying wail of the tornado siren pierced through the chaos, warning residents to seek shelter immediately.
The Power Unleashed
The tornado's fury was unmatched as it continued its destructive path. It seemed as if nature itself was unleashing its wrath upon the land. The tornado's winds reached unimaginable speeds, reaching a category of intensity that rarely occurs.
The impact on the community was devastating. Homes were flattened, and lives were forever changed. Emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue survivors and provide aid to those affected. The strength of the tornado demonstrated the importance of preparedness and the need for effective early warning systems.
Shocking Tornado Siren
The tornado siren's warning was a testament to the efficiency of modern technology. Designed to alert people of imminent danger, the siren succeeded in notifying residents of the approaching tornado. Its haunting sound served as a stark reminder of the raw power of nature and the necessity of heeding such warnings.
The public's response to the siren was mixed. Some appreciated the warning, acknowledging that it saved lives. Others found it unsettling, as the siren was an ominous reminder of the impending danger.
Safety Precautions During a Tornado
When a tornado warning is issued, every second counts. Taking immediate action can mean the difference between life and death. It is crucial to seek shelter in a sturdy building, preferably in a basement or small, windowless interior room on the lowest level.
Creating an emergency preparedness plan for tornadoes is essential for every household. This plan should include designated shelter areas, a communication strategy, and emergency supplies.
Coping with the Aftermath
After the tornado had passed, the community came together to support one another. Rescue teams, volunteers, and local authorities worked tirelessly to search for survivors and begin the process of rebuilding.
The aftermath of a tornado is both physically and emotionally challenging. Communities faced loss and destruction, but the resilience and strength of the people shone through. Support poured in from neighboring areas and beyond, showing the power of solidarity during times of crisis.
Conclusion
The start of the terrible tornado in America was a sobering reminder of the immense power of nature. Tornadoes can strike with little warning, leaving devastation in their wake. The incident highlighted the importance of early warning systems, such as tornado sirens, in safeguarding lives.
