Going to bump this thread to make it easier to keep track of how many tornados we have this year, since we do pretty good about listing confirmed ones in threads I was hoping folks would also include any confirmed tornados this year in this thread. The numbers in 2011 pointed to us getting hit and we had Irene , last year we barely had any tornados and obviously no hits from last years putrid TC season. This year we have had 3 confirmed that I know of all yesterday 2 in Roberson and 1 in Wayne, there was also the Beaufort hit but I checked and it was Dec 26th so it wont count on this years cycle....if there was another one I missed this year let me know here thanks.

Cant say we didnt warn ya........

In the main Atlantic hurricane thread on the main forum I had seen several years thrown out there as analogs for this years cane season......two of the more common ones were 1996 and 1999 which if you lived in NC are years we got smacked about quite a bit. So the other day Shaggy looked up those years and searched for severe weather to see if they had active severe weather springs or not and to see what those years had. Interestingly enough 4-15-96 had a tornado outbreak in NC then strangely enough 4-15-99 also had a small outbreak then of course we all know what happened 4-16-2011 So while I dont really hold to much faith in analogs I was surprised to see this and overall both 96 and 99 were very good severe years with lots of springtime storm activity all across the SE and North Carolina. I will however be a believer if NC gets hit by several hurricanes this year lol......
