In all likelihood they are not. The main factor in this is improved detection. We are now recording many of the F0 and F1 tornadoes that would have been missed 50 years ago. Additionally, the more active years tend to be more memorable while we tend to forget the quiter ones.

Overall tornado activity also varies seasonally, with tornadoes occurring more often in the warmer months.

For real-time information on weather events in the United States go to the website of the National Weather Service.
