The 2013 tornado season is off to an unusually busy start–a pattern we also saw last year. The January 29 – 30, 2013 tornado outbreak now has 56 confirmed tornadoes, including the only EF-3 tornado of the year, which hit Adairsville, GA, on January 30, killing one person. The outbreak is now ranked as the second largest January tornado outbreak since records began in 1950 (the largest: 128 tornadoes on January 21 – 22, 1999 .) NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center logged twelve preliminary reports of tornadoes on Sunday, from Mississippi and Alabama. This brings the tally of preliminary tornado reports for the year to 100. On average, we’ve had just 72 preliminary tornado reports by February 10 during the previous seven years, 2005 – 2011.
