2005 was extremely active (state record yearly total, state record outbreak on August 18 including the long-track, killer F3 Stoughton tornado). 2004 had also been very active. 2008 and 2010 were also rather busy but you are right in that ever since has been very quiet. We had an outbreak in June 2014 (actually, same day/evening as the Pilger family in Nebraska) but that was late at night and from a QLCS, not unlike the Chicago suburbs tornado that just happened. 2017 had a long-track EF3 in May but that was waaaaaay up in the unchaseable Northwoods.
