Corrected= Almost No Tornadoes In February 2010

Very interesting article...

There were no tornadoes reported in the United States in February 2010. Assuming that no late reports are received, it will be the first time in the National Weather Service’s database that starts in 1950 that there has been a February without a tornado. If we include Tom Grazulis’s database of F2 and stronger tornadoes, the last time it’s possible there wasn’t a February tornado was 1947. The last tornado reported in the US was on 24 January, in north-central Tennessee. The last calendar month without a tornado was January 2003.

Later in 2003 turned out to be one of the most active, especially in the Tennessee Valley and South.

I laughed at this line in the report

"What does this tell us about the rest of the 2010 tornado season? Somewhere between a little and nothing at all."

Updated SPC information now has 1 February tornado... Confirmed EF0 in Kern County, California on February 27. Very interesting that it was in CA. Goes to show what a crazy winter pattern we have seen.
