The past three years have been left with less than 1,000 tornadoes touching down. Sure, we've had signicifant tornadoes regardless (i.e. Indiana EF4, Moore EF5, El Reno storm chaser killer, Vilonia EF4 and the Pilger EF4 tornado family), but we've had less than 1,000 tornadoes in 2012 - 2014. Will 2015 be similar?
I've come to notice this:
2004, 2008 and 2011 are the top 3 years with the number of tornado touchdowns.
The immediate years prior saw less activity in the month of May as well as other months of the year. But it doesn't explain how 2013 and 2014 have had less activity than 2012, although 2013 had a more active May than 2012.
Will this year be another year with less than 1000 tornadoes

Can you explain this more? I've been a bit out of the loop.
