Last year Oklahoma set a record for no tornadoes at all anywhere in the state for the month of...May, I think.
You get patterns that set up that move stuff around. There's been a lot less stuff in the classic dryline areas of Central TX, Central OK the last couple of years, more in MO.
Drives the chasers crazy because MO is a bad, bad state to drive after tornadoes in, from what I gather.
Why?
That's funny that you say that. I think for the last 2-3 years, we have NOT had a serious tornado warning for our county in what I call "tornado season". It makes me feel that we are over due. Of course, we had to deal with the effects of three major hurricanes within 18 months while it wasn't tornado season. We had all the effects of downed trees, power outages, humming generators, etc.
