History of tropical cyclone-spawned tornadoes

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

Intense tropical cyclones usually produce tornadoes, the majority of those weak, especially upon landfall.

List of tornadoes

These are the tropical cyclones that are known to have spawned tornadoes. The list is most complete for the U.S., but does include other areas. Within the United States 1,163 tornadoes were associated with tropical cyclones,[1] accounting for slightly under 6% of all tornadoes.
