Longest tornado tracks

Long tracks in early records. Early records sometimes logged a series of tornadoes from one storm as a single long track. Some of the longest tracks before the 1990s are likely tornado families rather than one tornado.
Ratings before the mid 1970s. The F Scale came into use in the early 1970s. Tornadoes from 1950 until then were rated afterward from newspaper accounts, photos and records, which tends to make those ratings less certain.
