Tornado statistics for older years like this often appear significantly lower than modern years due to fewer reports or confirmed tornadoes. {{Clear}}EventsUnited States yearly total{{Tornado chart|Enhanced=no|Total=653|F0=164|F1=253|F2=191|F3=36|F4=8|F5=1}}January9 tornadoes were reported in the United States in January, as well as a rare, violent tornado in Australia.[2] January 1 (Australia){{Main|Bulahdelah tornado}}An intense tornado, which occurred near the town of Bulahdelah ({{Convert|100|km|mi|1}} north-northeast of Newcastle), New South Wales on 1 January 1970, is thought to be the most destructive tornado ever documented in Australia.[3] It is thought to have reached F4 or F5 intensity on the Fujita scale, however, no official rating has been made public.[4][5] The tornado left a damage path {{Convert|22|km|mi|0}} long and 1–1.6 km (0.6–1 mi) wide through the Bulahdelah State Forest.[3] It is estimated that the tornado destroyed over one million trees.[3] A caravan was destroyed and a 2-ton (2,000 kg) tractor was lifted into the air, landing upside down.
