Northern Umbria tornado of 1067	6 December 1067	Umbria, Italy	1	?	Tornado in the northern parts of Umbria.[1]
London tornado of 1091	17 October 1091	London, Middlesex, Kingdom of England	1	2	The London Tornado of 1091 is the earliest reported tornado in England, occurring in London on Friday, 17 October 1091.[6][7] It has been reckoned by modern assessment as possibly a T8 on the TORRO scale (roughly equivalent to low-end F4 on the Fujita scale) making it potentially the strongest recorded tornado in the British Isles,[8] although this estimate is based on reports written 30 years after the tornado.[4] The church of St Mary-le-Bow in the city of London was badly damaged; four rafters 26 feet (7.9 m) long were driven into the ground so that only 4 feet (1.2 m) protruded above the surface.[4] Other churches in the area were demolished, as were over 600 (mostly wooden) houses. For all the damage inflicted, the tornado claimed just two known victims from a population of about 18,000.[4][8][9] The tornado is mentioned in chronicles by Florence of Worcester and William of Malmesbury, the latter describing it as "a great spectacle for those watching from afar, but a terrifying experience for those standing near".[8]
Vyšehrad Tornado	30 July 1119	Vyšehrad, Bohemia	1	?	Earliest known and perhaps strongest Czech tornado, possibly rated F3/F4. Destroyed the palace of the Czech duke at Vyšehrad, which is now in Prague.[10][11]

Russian tornado of 1406	1406	near Nizhny Novgorod, Russia	1	1 fatality known	According to the Trinity Chronicle, a tornado occurred near Nizhny Novgorod. This is the earliest known Russian tornado. It is said to have picked up a horse-drawn carriage and threw it so far away that it could no longer be seen. The carriage and the horse were later found but the man remained missing.[12][13] Another source says that "a mighty storm and whirlwind ravage[d] the village", suggesting that structures were also affected by the tornado.[14]
1406 Venice tornado	1406	Venice, Venetian Republic	1	Many fatalities	A strong tornado hit Venice, destroying many houses and killing many people. [citation needed]
1453 Rodenberg tornado	1453	Rodenberg, Germany	1	18	A strong tornado moved through the village, destroying all barns and around 50 houses. 18 people were killed. According to tornadoliste it was rated F2.[15]
1535 Oleśnica tornado	11 September 1535	Oleśnica, Poland	1	5	An F4 tornado[16] destroyed part of the town. The roofs and gables on several houses were destroyed and streets were littered with shingles as a result. A brewery was completely destroyed. The tornado also damaged the castle of Henry IV, Duke of Saxony. 5 people were killed when the gable of the city hall collapsed on them.[17]
Lequile tornado	22 June 1546	Lequile, Italy	1	24	A tornado struck the villages of Lequile and San Pietro in Lama in southern Apulia near Lecce, causing catastrophic damage along a roughly 3 km long path. The tornado uprooted trees, destroyed houses and blew the roof off a church. 24 people were reportedly killed.[18]
Grand Harbour of Malta tornado	23 September 1551 (or 1556)	Malta	1	≈600 fatalities	An intense waterspout came on-shore and struck the Grand Harbour of Valletta. A shipping armada which was about to go into battle was destroyed, causing the deaths of around 600 people. TORRO suggests the tornado caused T7 damage, equivalent to a high-end F3 or low-end F4 on the Fujita scale. Perhaps the deadliest European tornado.[4]
Nottingham tornado	7 July 1558 (or 1 July or 11 July)	Nottingham, United Kingdom	1	5 - 7	On either 1, 7 or 11 July (sources differ) 1558 a tornado struck Sneinton (which today is a suburb of Nottingham). According to one contemporary report, the tornado tore through two towns, destroying all the houses and churches. Another independent report cites the near total destruction of the village of Sneinton. It is also reported that the tornado sucked water out of the river Trent and ripped trees out of the ground, throwing them several feet away. One child and 5 (possibly 6, sources differ) men were killed. TORRO suggests a rating of T7 for the tornado, equivalent to high-end F3.[19]
Kestřany tornado	24 May 1582	Kestřany, Bohemia	1	?	A tornado struck Kestřany, destroying houses and uprooting trees. The tornado received a rating of F3.[20][21]

Neznašov tornado	6 July 1585	Neznašov, Bohemia	1	?	A tornado formed near Neznašov. From there it moved through a forest, uprooting trees along the way, before it reached the village of Temelín, where it completely destroyed several houses. The tornado then continued to Sedlec where it destroyed another house and turned a barn upside down. Multiple academic sources list this tornado as an F3.[10][20][23]
Koclířov tornado	14 August 1585	Koclířov, Bohemia	1	?	A tornado formed near Kocléřov, which uprooted trees and destroyed several houses, including one manor. People were reportedly hurled into the air by the tornado and thrown into the mud, where they laid unconscious for some time. ESWD lists this tornado as an F3.[20][24]
Augsburg tornado	2 July 1587	Augsburg, Holy Roman Empire	1	?	[25]
Rome tornado of 1645	4 December 1645	Rome, Papal States	1	Many fatalities	Probably F3.[26]
Lincolnshire tornado	23 October 1666	Lincolnshire, United Kingdom	1	3	On 23 October 1666 the most intense tornado on record for the UK (and England) passed through Welbourn, Wellingore, Navenby and Boothby Graffoe in Lincolnshire. The tornado has been rated at T8-9, roughly equivalent to an F4 on the Fujita scale. The tornado tracked for 5 km and reached a maximum path width of 200 meters. Thomas Short writing in 1749 described it as "it came with such Violence and Force, that at Welbourn it levelled most of the Houses to the Ground; broke down some, and tore up other Trees by the Roots, scattering abroad much Corn and Hay. One Boy only was killed. It went on to Wellingore, where it overthrew some Houses, and killed two Children in them. Thence it passed on and touched the Skirts of Navenby, and ruined a few Houses. Keeping its Course to the next Town Boothby Graffoe, where it dashed the Church Steeple in pieces, furiously rent the Church itself, both Stone and Timber Work, left little of either standing, only the Body of the Steeple."[4]
La Rochelle – Paris tornadoes	September 1669	France	>2	?	Longest tracked tornado family in Europe at 400 km (250 mi), but the distance may be greater as the tornado possibly started as a waterspout over the Bay of Biscay. Earliest-known French tornadoes.[4]
Cádiz tornado	15 March 1671[27]	Cadiz, Andalucia, Spain	1	≥600 fatalities[28]	Sánchez-Laulhé (2005) classified this tornado as an F3,[28] although ESWD lists it as an F4.[29] The tornado destroyed houses and capsized many ships leading to the death of at least 600 people, although the number could be as high as 1500 fatalities.[28]
Utrecht tornado	1 August 1674	Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands	1	Likely around 50	Destroyed part of the Dom Tower of Utrecht. At least one other farmhouse outside of the city was also destroyed by the tornado. It is difficult to say how many people were killed by the tornado but it was likely around 50. Due to the poor economic situation Utrecht was in at the time, it took the city almost a century to recover.[30]
Veneto tornado	29 July 1686	Terrazzo, Dolo, Italy	1	8 fatalities	A strong and long tracked tornado caused extensive damage from Terrazzo to Dolo, travelling for 40 miles in 1 hour, killing 8 people and injuring many others.[31] This might have been an F3.[26]
Kaliningrad tornado	12 August 1701	Kaliningrad, Russia	1	?	ESWD lists this tornado as an F3.[32]
Olomouc tornado	13 August 1701	Olomouc, Moravia	1	?	Strong winds presumably from a tornado caused serious damage at Jindřichův Hradec and at Praskolesy near Telč. A number of houses were reportedly completely swept away. Despite this scientific literature only indicates an intensity of F1-F2.[20][33]
Schleswig-Holstein Tornado	26 February 1718	Schleswig-Holstein, Holy Roman Empire	1	?	On the night of 25 to 26 February 1718 a violent tornado struck somewhere in modern-day Schleswig-Holstein.

Groden Tornado	26 June 1756	Cuxhaven, Holy Roman Empire	1	0	A violent tornado struck Groden (today part of Cuxhaven). A strong "whirlwind" accompanied by severe hail and heavy rain caused extensive damage in the village. According to contemporary sources several houses were destroyed or severely damaged. The roof of the local church also suffered extensive damage. Large trees were either snapped or uprooted. Tornadoliste lists this tornado as an F4.[38][39]

1764 Woldegk tornado	29 June 1764	Germany, Poland	3	1	Small tornado outbreak over Poland and Germany with 1 F5, 1 F3 and 1 F1. The F5 tornado traveled for 35 km along a 400–800 m wide path. 1 person was killed and 3 more were injured. A very detailed survey of the damage caused by this tornado was conducted by Gottlob Burchard Genzmer. This survey was remarkable for its time and would even hold up to modern scientific standards. The tornado caused phenomenal damage. In a field, the stumps of previously felled trees were pulled out of the ground and carried away. Houses were completely razed down to their foundations. Heavy cobblestones weighing 75 kg were rolled and according to eyewitness reports, a meteorological tsunami-like event occurred as the tornado tracked over a lake. ESWD lists the strongest tornado from this outbreak as an F5/T11, T11 being the highest rating on the TORRO scale. This tornado is regarded as the strongest in German history and is one of only 2 F5 tornadoes that have ever been recorded in the country.[42][43][44] FU F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 0 0 1 0 1 0 1
1774 Central Europe tornadoes	19–20 June 1774	Germany, Czech Republic	2	3	High-end F2/T5 tornado hit Götzenhain, Germany along an 11.5 kilometer path, killing 3. An F1 tornado hit Telč, Czech Republic [45] FU F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 0 0 1 1 0 0 0

Hainichen tornado	23 April 1800	Germany	1	0	A violent tornado formed near the town of Hainichen at around 4-5 pm and subsequently tracked for around 8 minutes for 9.5 km in the north-northeast direction. The tornado was 50 meters wide. In Arnsdorf all houses lost their roofs. The tornado subsequently apparently intensified before striking Dittersdorf, where several houses and stables were completely destroyed. Lots of livestock was wiped out and several people were severely injured. After this, the tornado tracked into a forest, where no tree in its path remained standing. Some trees were reportedly debarked and thrown hundreds of meters away. Finally, the tornado struck Etzdorf, where several houses were completely leveled. Thankfully no-one was killed in the tornado because most people were out in the fields but 5 people were injured. ESWD lists this tornado as an F5/T10, one of only two documented F5 tornadoes in Germany.[48][49]
Southsea tornado	14 December 1810	Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, UK	1	0	Third-strongest British tornado, rated a T7-8 (high-end F3 to low-end F4). Some homes were completely leveled and others so badly damaged that they had to be demolished. Chimneys were blown down and lead on a bank roof was 'rolled up like a piece of canvas'.[4]
Horb Tornado	15 April 1831	Horb am Neckar, Germany	1	0	A tornado affected Horb am Neckar in modern-day Baden-Württemberg. The tornado reportedly ripped the roofs off several buildings, destroyed numerous trees and threw people and animals alike high into the air, although no fatalities were reported.[50] ESWD lists this tornado as an F2/T5.[51]
Louny tornado	2 May 1831	Louny, Bohemia	1	1	2 people were reportedly killed by the tornado, which might have been an F2 to F3.[20]
Carrickfergus tornado	12 June 1834	Carrickfergus, Ireland	1	0	A tornado struck Kilroot, damaging a house and taking the thatch off it. It also killed a hen, which was carried into the wind, and lifted two people off the ground; they were uninjured.[52]

Seine-Maritime tornado	19–20 August 1845	France	5	70–200	A small outbreak produced at least 5 tornadoes in France, the Netherlands and Germany. The strongest tornado of this outbreak was an F5 tornado that passed through the Cailly Valley after having formed near Le Houlme. Along its path the tornado caused damage that experts at Keraunos described as beyond imagination. The tornado completely destroyed three spinning mills, some of which had just been built. One of the mills was a solid 4 story brick building and another was of a build quality that one quote: "dared to qualify as excessive ". The tornado also destroyed several regular houses and uprooted, snapped and debarked numerous large trees, throwing some of them a considerable distance away. Debris of various kinds was found scattered up to 30 km away from the tornado. The tornado killed at least 75 people and injured 130 more, making it the deadliest tornado in French history. It is also one of only 2 recorded F5 tornadoes in France, the other being the one that occurred in Palluel on 24 June 1967. Keraunos also mentions two other tornadoes that occurred in France on that day: an F3 in Villey-sur-Tille and an F1 in Avosnes. There were also at least 2 other tornadoes outside of France: one in Zevenbergen, the Netherlands and another in Trier, Germany.[58][59]
1851 Sicily tornadoes	8 December 1851	Sicily, Kingdom of Sicily	2	≈500 fatalities	Among the deadliest European tornadoes.[4]
Middle Poland tornado	31 May 1866	Jarluty Duże, Humięcino	4	≥7 fatalities, 18 injuries	A small outbreak of 4 tornadoes occurred across western and central Poland. The strongest of the outbreak was an F3-F4 tornado that hit Humiecino and Jarłuty, destroying several houses and lifting animals. The tornado killed at least 7 people, although 12 remained missing. It reportedly tore the limbs off some of its victims. The tornado was preceded by a hailstorm, producing hail up to potato size, coating the ground in a 9-inch layer of hail. Another tornado, listed as F2 in the ESWD, touched down just northeast of this tornado a short time later and destroyed 2 houses. This second tornado was presumably from the same cyclic parent supercell. Two other tornadoes occurred further west earlier that afternoon. One of these near Święte just northwest of Wroclaw was rated F2 on account of damaging 31 houses and lifting an entire windmill.[60][61]
Palazzolo dello Stella tornado	28 July 1867	Palazzolo dello Stella, Italy	1	15 fatalities, 50 injuries	A strong tornado, which might have been an F3-F4, hit the villages of San Mauro, Ronchis and especially Palazzolo dello Stella. 15 people were killed and 50 more were injured.[26][62]
Veneto tornado	24 September 1867	Venice, Italy	1	20 fatalities, 15 injuries[63]	A strong tornado, possibly an F3-F4, struck Venice and caused damage along a 25 km path. The tornado killed 20 people and 15 more were injured.[26]
Tuscany tornado	29 July 1868	Roccatederighi, Grosseto, Italy	4	0	An intense 400 m wide tornado, possibly an F3, struck Roccatederighi, Roccastrada and surrounding areas in Tuscany. Several houses lost their roofs and some were even partially demolished. Some olive groves are said to have been almost completely annihilated and several large chestnut, walnut and oak trees were snapped and twisted. Ground scouring was also reportedly observed.[26]
Brno tornado	13 October 1870	Brno, Moravia	1	0	Detailed scientific description by Gregor Mendel. Mendel's detailed study of the tornado's damage reportedly would also hold up to modern standards today. One interesting thing is that Mendel, who witnessed the tornado personally, described the rotation as anticyclonic or clockwise in the northern hemisphere, which is unusual for these parts. Scientific literature suggests a rating of F0-F1.[10]
Vienna tornado	29 June 1873	Vienna, Austria	1	?	A (possible) tornado struck Vienna during the 1873 Vienna World's Fair and affected the festivities. Besides the tornado, the thunderstorm also caused large hail and torrential rain, which caused widespread flooding. According to contemporary newspaper reports the tornado damaged several houses, including damage to gables, chimneys, roofs and windows, and uprooted several trees. Some later sources attribute several fatalities to this tornado but ESWD only mentions many chickens being "battered to death" and newspaper reports only mention two people who drowned in the floodwaters. ESWD lists this tornado as an F2/T4 but also mentions that this might have been a gustnado instead of a tornado.[64][65][66][67][68][69]
Gødvad - Kattrup tornado	6 September 1882	Gødvad, Kattrup, Denmark	1	?	A long tracked, violent F4 tornado struck Gødvad and Kattrup along a 32.3 kilometer long path. 6 half-timbered oak homes were destroyed, and trees were uprooted and thrown. A pond had all of its water sucked up. Several fields sustained scouring, and in one case the scouring was very deep. This is the strongest tornado ever recorded in Denmark.[70]
Catania tornado	7 October 1884	Catania, Italy	1	30 fatalities, 600 injured	A violent tornado (possibly an F4) caused great destruction around Catania. Many buildings were (almost) completely destroyed, telecommunications infrastructure damaged and trees uprooted along a 25 km path. 30 people died and about 600 others were injured.[71][26]
Caprarica di Lecce tornado	23 November 1884	Caprarica di Lecce, Italy	1	1 killed, 8 injured	An intense tornado struck Caprarica di Lecce and caused great destruction within the village. Among other things the bell tower collapsed, crushing 2 people. One of the two men crushed by the bell tower was killed, while the other was injured along with 7 others. ESWD lists this tornado as an F3.[72][73]
Madrid tornado	12 May 1886	Madrid, Spain	1	47	An F3 tornado struck Madrid, causing extensive damage to buildings, some of which collapsed, killing the occupants, on a 12 km path from Carabanchel to Ciudad Lineal with a width of 1 km. It is the deadliest Spanish tornado of the last two centuries.[74]
Lonato tornado	14 may 1886	Lonato del Garda	1	5 fatalities	A strong or intense tornado (maybe an F2 or F3) tracked for 10 km from Castiglione dello Stiviere to Lake Garda and devastate the eastern part of the town of Lonato where many homes were badly damaged or destroyed.

Novska tornado	31 May 1892	Croatia, Austria-Hungary	2	1	Strongest known tornado in Croatia. A large multivortex F4 twin-tornado struck the southern part of the village of Novska and surrounding woods. 1 person was killed, 3 people were heavily injured, and many had minor injuries. At least 150,000 trees were destroyed in its path. A train was derailed; one train wagon (14 t) was lifted at least 6 m into the air and thrown 30 meters onto a field. The average width of the tornado was 800 m, with the maximum width exceeding 1.2 km. Hail size from this tornadic supercell was 8 cm.[citation needed]
Badalona tornado	15 June 1892	Badalona, Catalonia, Spain	1	3 fatalities, Unknown injuries	An F2 tornado touched down in the village of Badalona, and a few factories were damaged, with the roof being partially removed and some walls either damaged or collapsed, injuring some people.

Hasmark Strand Tornado	6 July 2024	Fyn, Denmark	2+	0	During a historic severe weather outbreak, where Denmark's largest hail was recorded (10,5 cm), at least 2 tornadoes would develop at around 13:30-13:40 UTC, and would tear through northern parts of Fyn. An IF0 tornado would destroy parts of a field and rip the branches off of some trees, and another would strike Hasmark Strand, a beach town. It started out as a weak IF0 before strengthening to IF1.5 as it tore several large branches off a European Aspen tree, and hurling them some distance (TRW, DoD 6). A very well rooted, softwood tree was uprooted before the tornado shifted north and remained as a waterspout before dying. Additional tornadoes might've formed in Sønderjylland, however surveys are still ongoing.

One of Denmark's oldest open-gardens was completely destroyed, with greenhouses damaged, large swaths of trees uprooted, snapped, or debranched. The tornado earned a preliminary IF1.5 rating as it traveled over 4 kilometers. 2 Additional tornadoes might've touched down in the area as well. A video from a Facebook group (TV2 Vejret Billeder) shows what might be, either a wedge, or a rainwrapped tornado over Jels, and damage was reported in the town of Jels which is the direction the video was filmed.[431]
