Tornado Activity

According to preliminary data from the National Severe Storms Forecast Center of the National Weather Service, 1073 tornadoes were observed across the contiguous United States during 1994 (Fig. 4.32). This compares with the 1953-1993 average of 791 tornadoes per year and represents a decrease of more than 200 tornadoes from the peak year of 1992. It should be noted that the preliminary tornado count is usually higher than the final count, and that tornado observations have generally improved with time.
