How the distance is measured. NOAA records each tornado as a straight line from touchdown to lift-off in every county it crossed. We measure from your point to the nearest place on that line, and join the county pieces back into one tornado. Real paths wander, so read anything under a mile as “it came through here,” not as a survey measurement. About one record in four, mostly from 1996–2006, has no end point; those are measured to touchdown only.
