Good Afternoon and yes a very busy spring. Brian even touched on this and there is no way of knowing if this spring has been busier in terms of tornado's compared to 100 years ago because so many touched down that were never reported just because of how life was back then. Don't get me wrong it has been busy this season but record breaking and just no way to know this answer. Sort like comparing athletes from 100 years ago to today's athletes and you just can't compare because of so many factors involved. Will this be a start of several years of more than average tornado's and no idea so we just wait until next spring.
Agreed Tim. All we can do in the modern era, is to go by the records since record keeping began with regards to tornado counts.tpweather wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 1:11 pmGood Afternoon and yes a very busy spring.
