Draft:List of case studies on tornadoes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meteorologist, structural and forensic engineer Timothy P. Marshall surveys a neighborhood that was devastated by the 2013 Moore tornado

This is a list of government or academic case studies on individual tornadoes or tornado outbreaks. Large scientific studies, like Significant Tornadoes 1680–1991: A Chronology and Analysis of Events by Thomas P. Grazulis[1][2], are not included on this list, since case studies specifically focus on a single event or handful of events.[3][4]

List of case studies on tornadoes before 1900
Tornado(es) Max rating Author(s) Summary
1764 Woldegk tornado T11/F5 Gottlob Burchard Genzmer The first ever case study on a tornado was conducted by Genzmer between 1764-1765. This case study was 77-paragraphs long.[5]
Bernold Feuerstein, Thilo Kühne In 2015, the researchers with the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL) and Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) published a detailed damage survey and analysis on the tornado.[6]
1835 New Brunswick tornado F? James Pollard Espy, William Charles Redfield, Lewis C. Beck, W. C. Redfield, multiple other scientists Between 1839 and 1841, a detailed survey of damage path of significant tornado that struck New Brunswick, New Jersey on 19 June 1835, which was the deadliest tornado in New Jersey history, occurred. The path was surveyed by many scientists on account of its location between New York City and Philadelphia, including early tornado theorists James Pollard Espy and William Charles Redfield. Scientists disagreed whether there was whirling, convergent, or rotational motion. A conclusion that remains accurate today is that the most intense damage tends to be on right side of a tornado (with respect to direction of forward movement), which was found to be generally easterly).[7][8]
1838 Calcutta tornado F? J. Floyd A case study in 1838 on a tornado which struck near where modern-day Calcutta, West Bengal, India is.[9]
1865 Pundooah tornado F? Chunder Sikur Chatterjee The first in India and earliest known scientific survey of a tornado that analyzed structure and dynamics was published in 1865 by Indian scientist Chunder Sikur Chatterjee. The path damage survey of a tornado that occurred at Pundooah (now Pandua), Hugli district, West Bengal, India, was documented on maps and revealed multiple vortices, the tornadocyclone, and direction of rotation,[10] predating work by John Park Finley, Alfred Wegener, Johannes Letzmann, and Ted Fujita.
September 1886 tornado outbreak F2 Lieutenant Jno. P. Finley Lieutenant Jno. P. Finley in the United States Army Signal Corps, under official orders from the United States military, wrote a case study on tornado outbreak which occurred between September 12-18, 1886. Finley studied 26 tornadoes which occurred during the outbreak.[11][1]
1895 Augusta tornadoes F2 D. Fisher D. Fisher with the United States Weather Bureau (USWB) published a case study on a tornado which struck Augusta, Georgia on March 20, 1895, along with a twin tornado and a satellite tornado, which also struck Augusta.[12][1]
Tornado outbreak of May 3, 1895 F5 USWB The United States Weather Bureau (USWB) conducted a short case study on the tornado outbreak, tracking each of the 18 tornadoes that occurred during the outbreak.[13][1]
1895 Cherry Hill tornado F? E. H. Emery, H. Goucher Meteorologists at the United States Weather Bureau conducted a case study on a tornado which struck Cherry Hill, New Jersey on July 13, 1895. The case study included a damage survey and meteorological analysis of the storm.[14]
1895 Woodhaven tornado F? E. H. Emery, H. Goucher Meteorologists at the United States Weather Bureau conducted a case study on a tornado which struck Woodhaven, Long Island, New York, on July 13, 1895. The case study included a damage survey and meteorological analysis of the storm. The case study also mentioned an "investigating committee" surveyed the tornado's damage.[14]

1945 Montgomery–Chisholm tornado F3 A case study on specifically on the 1945 Montgomery tornado. In the study, Floyd C. Pate described the tornado as "the most officially observed one in history", as it passed 2 miles (3.2 km) away from four different government weather stations, including the United States Weather Bureau office in Montgomery.[15]

2021 Western Kentucky tornado EF4 A case study from the Shifu R. Careaga with the University of Kentucky linked the tornado to gravity & magnetic anomalies along the New Madrid Fault Line at the time of the tornado.[21]
A case study by Rebecca Freihaut with the University of Central Florida on how the residents of Mayfield, Kentucky recovered after the tornado.[22]
A case study by researchers from Pennsylvania State University on how historic masonry structures in Mayfield, Kentucky preformed during the tornado.[23]
A detailed damage survey and analysis of part of the tornado's track, focusing mainly on Mayfield, Kentucky published by Timothy Marshall, a meteorologist, structural and forensic engineer; Zachary B. Wienhoff, with Haag Engineering Company; Christine L. Wielgos, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service of Paducah; and Brian E. Smith, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service of Omaha. In their conclusion, the researchers state, “the tornado damage rating might have been higher had more wind resistant structures been encountered. Also, the fast forward speed of the tornado had little ‘dwell’ time of strong winds over a building and thus, the damage likely would have been more severe if the tornado were slower.”[24]
2022 Arabi–New Orleans tornado EF3 Researchers with Auburn University, Florida International University, Pennsylvania State University, Louisiana State University, University of South Alabama, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Kentucky, and CoreLogic, published an academic case study on how hurricane-resistant houses preformed during the tornado.[25]

A case study from researchers with Nanyang Technological University and the University of California on how soil moisture observations led to discrepancies being discovered on the tornado’s track vs spotter confirmations vs official damage assessments from the National Weather Service.[27]
A case study by researchers from the Microsoft AI for Good Research Lab, Microsoft Philanthropies, and the American Red Cross on how rapid building damage assessment was conducted following the tornado.[28]
2023 Black Hawk–Winona tornado EF3 The National Weather Service offices in Jackson, Mississippi and Nashville, Tennessee, along with the National Severe Storms Laboratory and the University of Oklahoma's CIWRO publish a joint damage survey and analysis on the tornado.[26]
