They aren't. Apart from the extremely deadly 2011 tornado season, annual tornado death tolls in the U.S. have actually been decreasing due to improved warning systems. However, some warn that tornado fatalities could rise as populated areas grow, giving tornadoes more targets in which deaths may occur.
