*Dangerous Times Ahead....grab your calculator..*
------------------------------
While looking thru my weather bookmarks, I followed a path and found this
national weather service page...didn't even know it existed.
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/WNS/STAMTS
Click and view the page...easier to read then the messed up columns below.
Basically it's a NWS tornado history page. Look at the number at the very
bottom of the 2004 column summary.
1819 tornadoes.
Then look at the summary totals for the years SINCE 2004.
So far this year, we've had around 171 tornadoes. In 2004, all the way thru
March, there were only *62*...SIXTY TWO. This is just slightly over ONE
THIRD the number of storms we've seen in the same time frame THIS YEAR.
That means, this year, if the numbers hold anywhere NEAR the current stats
we're seeing...we may see more tornadoes THIS year...than we have EVERY seen
in a single year.
This does not bode well..
See the page...print it out....crunch the numbers yourself.
If you live near ANY part of the nation that has a history of tornadic
activity, you WILL want to prepare some kind of shelter, get your insurance
caught up, and have bug out bags, first aid, and weather radios within reach
when storms are coming your way.
Just a heads up...but these numbers speak VOLUMES.
