Record Low Tornado Numbers

May 2012 - April 2013 holds the record for the lowest number of EF1 + tornadoes in a 12 month period (records go back to 1954).

The previous record of 247 from the 12 month period ending May 1992 was shattered big time.

Funny that the last two quiet years followed the most active year on record. In the 12 month period ending April 2011, a record 358 EF1+ tornadoes touched down.
