That is insane. That's a 150% increase in May tornadoes compared to 2002.
It's absolutely incredible on how few fatalities there have been this year with that amount of activity.

2003's totals are final totals ... and 2004's are LIKELY to change ... and I think it will end up lower than 2003's. Anyway, we're not likely to find out for at least another 6-9 months ...
