Seasonal Tornado Habitats, 1950 - 2011

Here's a visualization of seasonal tornado risk over a sixty-one year period.  The migration patterns of tornadoes look a lot like those of snowbirds (leading to the obvious conclusion that retirees cause tornadoes).

  2. I just moved in to some apartment for rent in Maryland but before I used to live in New York was really thankful that before the hurricane Sandy I'm staying at my parents in CA. I hope they could devise some tornado tracker to avoid the incident from happening again. Also I think people should prepare themselves whenever this kind of disaster happens again.
