How many tornadoes have there been?

There have probably been 600 in April, according to Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in Norman, Oklahoma. That is more than any month since records began in 1950.

What is causing the onslaught?
For a tornado to form, cold air must sit above warm, moist air, and the wind needs to go in different directions at different heights, creating shear forces. “One thing that brings those things together is a strong jet stream,” says Brooks, “especially if it comes from the west or south-west, over the Rockies.”

That is exactly what has been happening throughout April. The jet stream has dipped south over the south-western US, sending strings of storms over the southern states for weeks on end. According to Brooks, such a sustained pattern happens only two or three times a century.
