Are there a lot more tornados i the US this year than normal?

Question

Seems like I've been seeing week after week of news stories from all over the country. Is this higher than 'normal'?

Answer 1

i dunno if it is higher than average or not, but i know what you mean, it does seem like a lot lately. and i live in NC which they are rare here, and we've already had 2 or 3

Answer 2

Central Illinois hasn't seen one yet

Answer 3

Look up climate change. You can expect weather globally to get more and more extreme each year. as a member of the state emergency service, i can tell you that we get busier with each passing year with storm season. watch "the day after tomorrow". it's less fictional than you might think.
