Is this list accurate? Is it original research? I note the 1989 Huntsville tornado [1] with a reported damage total of $250 million. How does this not make the list? I think this needs explanation of methods for calculating the top ten list. - Dravecky ( talk) 13:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Since I first made this list, it seems that there were actually two tornadoes last year with $250 million in damage: The Enterprise tornado and the Greensburg tornado. I'm looking to find independent sources to make sure these are actually 250 mil and not the fake kind. Even so, they would not make the list, although I'm interested to see damage figures from some of those Super Tuesday tornadoes.- Running On Brains 08:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
According to the NCDC, the Joplin tornado's damage toll will almost certainly place it on the list of the ten costliest US tornadoes of all time. Furthermore, although I can't remember the source at the moment, I believe I heard talk of the TCL-BHM EF4 also being destructive enough to make it on the list. I realise that the source for this list hasn't been updated in a few years, but I think it would make sense to delve into official reports and update this template.

and to show you look here http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/damage$.htm first of all some are more higher now and the Tuscaloosa tornado is very higher and theres missing

that is if your using the Adjusted Damage for the top 10
but even so the numbers on some have change — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.118.207.158 ( talk) 13:57, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
The Windsor Locks tornado from 1979, when adjusted for inflation (2023) caused $1.568 billion (per the Wiki inflation code/formula). The article cited only uses tornadoes from long before most of the ones cited here. This definitely needs an update. Since nobody has said anything on here for nearly ten years, I'm guessing nobody will see this. Hopefully, I'll have an opportunity to do an overhaul in the near future.
