Fewer Violent Tornadoes
From Frank Lasee
Violent Tornadoes
"The average of the pre-doppler period is 10.5 violent tornadoes per year. Since 1995 the average is 6.4 violent tornadoes per year. 2018 became the first year in the modern record to have zero violent tornadoes tallied.â€
Tim adds:
No doubt we are finding more tornadoes with doppler than we had previously too. AND we are packed in more densely, building out on plains and the like so we probably are experiencing more violent tornadoes than in the past, even while we have better defenses. It leads me to conclude we actually are in a quiet period contrary to what the media tries to claim.

I've seen trustworthy articles that indicate things were worse in the 19th Century as far as windstorms. And nary an SUV in sight.

You're right. We just didn't have records like we do today. It seems worse because we are watching more closely.
