Where Have All the Tornadoes Gone?

Written by Teunis Felter

As the year winds down, it looks like being yet another very quiet one for tornadoes in the US. Based on provisional data to Nov 11th, only 2013 has had less tornadoes since 2005. After “inflation adjusting”, which takes account of the fact that many more tornadoes get to be reported nowadays because of changing technology, 2016 also looks like being one of the quietest since records began in 1954.
