Widest tornadoes 1950 to 1994 (mean width)

Mean width. Before 1995, path width was recorded as an average across the path, so these widths are not directly comparable with the maximum widths used since 1995.
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.
