Weather Patterns Changing

Posted on Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Prior to 2004, the U.S. averaged 800 to 900 tornadoes per year. During this same period, 70-80 lives were lost due to tornado thunderstorms. The last 3 years, 2005, 06, and 07, we averaged 1159 tornadoes and averaged 62 deaths. Thus far in 2008, we have had 1258 tornadoes reported along with 111 deaths in the U.S. This alone will tell you that we are having a change in weather patterns.
