Seems to me tornado season is very slow
Could it because of the below avg temperatures across the united states? Which is surpressing severe weather. Thanks.

Ironic, not long after this thread was posted, a mile wide twister touched down and is currently tearing up central Kansas.
That's hard to imagine. I've had more lightning storms than that just this past week! And plenty before then.

Yea, tell that to the one dead person and 63+ injured in Barton County, Kansas...and the people under a HIGH risk today...and those (like me) who have friends and/or family out there, not knowing if the individual will be alive at the end of the night...Luckily, thank god, the county she is in, the tornado that killed those people in Barton, it passed just southeast of her county, might not be so lucky tonight though, prayers out to all of them

I think this season has been anything but slow. In fact, I was thinking just the other day that this was a pretty active season with plenty of strong tornadoes (Eagle pass, Enterprise, Lady Lake, and now Greensburg). Also, it seems like the Dallas area has been hit a lot this year by storms. From the windstorms to the tornado in April to May 2nd's derecho. It has been crazy up that way.

Tonight seems kinda significant.
Not really. The last few years have been pretty lame overall. Tonight and last night weren't that big a deal compared with what we normally have. But as I said the last few years have been far below average. To give you an idea, you can combine all the svr weather of the last 3 seasons and so far this season and it doesn't equal one normal season for us.
