Tupelo looks like a war zone but so far no news of casualties there.

2 day tornado total with current outbreak has more than doubled the seasonal total and taken this out of last place. Still well below ave

Another photo from Tupelo. A final assessment still has not been made about how strong this tornado was.

2014 season after starting very slow ramped up fast with the past big severe event and now compares with 2005,2010 and 2013.

:uarrow: It made a big dent. However still remains below average for count, May will still have to come in very active to keep pace with average. But again worth emphasizing, the past two seasons have proven even in abnormally hush seasons quality over quantity. We seem to have seen an unusual amount of large, violent tornadoes. One too many deaths have occurred, if added onto 2011 the past 5 seasons have been quite deadly. These dixie alley outbreaks have taken it's toll on lives.

I think that's the price of living in Dixie Alley but maybe since ive gotten. Into weather I've begun to notice that Dixie Alley is really just violent tornado prone there were a few EF-1's but there was quiet a few EF-3's in this outbreak.

Despite the tornado activity we've seen over the next two weeks, the 2014 tornado season remains far from average -- record quiet if I did my research correctly (even behind 2010 and 2013 at this time). With an amplifying trough forecast to settle over the East USA this week...inhibiting return flow from the Gulf...the prospects for significant severe weather seem low for this week. By early next week, the ECMWF is showing a strong trough entering the West, but there are already a few questions off the bat: is it going to be strong enough to be of any consequence? How will the trough just off the Mid-Atlantic influence return flow?

Given we are now moving into peak tornado season (in terms of count) its growing more likely statistically this year will follow the last two of being below average. It's very difficult trying to even get to climo being as low as we are, it would take enormous activity against norms the rest of the way. Climo declines once past the next 20 or so days.

At the rate we're going, we're going to smash 2013's record for lowest number of the tornadoes in a season.

I must have forgot that 2013 had the lowest number, I thought just below average? If so, 2014 has the worst of all worlds of weather...very cold GL temps (studies show more tornadoes occur during colder years, seriously!), hardly any tornadoes, a likely joke of an Atlantic hurricane season, etc. :roll:
