This is a list of all tornadoes reported in the US state of Rhode Island. Although tornadoes are very rare in this state, at least 14 have been recorded in modern history. Additionally, because of high population density and property values, Rhode Island ranks 5th among states in potential losses due to tornadoes.〔(A.M.
