Interesting though, considering the floods in the USA.
No tornadoes. No tropical storms.
But it would be difficult to describe the North Atlantic as negative.
In a year that has seen a spike in the number of tornadoes across the
country, how is Mississippi stacking up?
The Storm Prediction Center - the National Weather Service office
responsible for severe weather forecasts and tallies - says that 1,330
tornadoes have been reported this year. Not all of those tornadoes
have been confirmed yet, but even still the numbers of confirmed
tornadoes are already nearly three times that of the most active
periods of previous years.
The National Weather Service Forecast Office in Jackson says 68
tornadoes have been confirmed to have touched down in Mississippi so
far this year. In 2007, a total of 33 tornadoes touched down. In less
than half the time the number of tornadoes has more than doubled.
In 2005, 99 tornadoes touched down in Mississippi, setting the record
for most tornado touch-downs in a year for the state. Only five
twisters impacted the state in 1964 - that's the record for least
amount of tornadoes in a year. The average is 26 per per year with an
average of 7 deaths reported due to tornadoes.
Most tornadoes in Mississippi occur between November and May. We are
entering a period of the year that is, on average, very calm as far as
tornadoes are concerned. In 2007, Only 1 tornado occurred from May to
September.
Most of Mississippi's tornadoes are EF0 or EF1 intensity, meaning the
winds are estimated at 65-110 mph. The strongest tornadoes reported
this year were EF3-intensity with winds of 136-165 mph.
So just like the rest of the country, Mississippi may be on its way to
a record tornado season if the trend established during the early part
of the year continues.
