The most recent confirmed tornado of 2010 was an EF2 that struck near Elsinore, Missouri on the evening of December 31, though other, as yet unconfimed tornadoes may have occurred later that night as tornadoes continued into the very early morning hours of January1, 2011.
Worlwide records are not available. However, records for the United States are. As of the start of August 2013 there have been 12,714 confirmed tornadoes in the United States in the past 10 years.
It is difficult to determine exactly, but based on official records:
- El Reno, Oklahoma. May 31, 2013: 2.6 miles wide
- Hallam, Nebraska. May 22, 2004: 2.5 miles wide
- Reserve, Kansas. May 17, 1896: 2.25 miles wide
- Moshannon State Forest, Pennsylvania. May 31, 1985: 2.2+ miles wide
- Edwards County, Kansas. May 4, 2007: 2.2 miles wide
Beyond this, it is difficult to find records, and many rankings are probably essentially tied.
Note: the Mulhall, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 likely deserves the #1 slot here, as Doppler radar indicate a width as wide as 4.3 miles.
First, tornadoes are not given names. second, there have been thousands of tornadoes in the past ten years. It would be impossible to list them.
