Tornado outbreak sequence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tornado outbreak sequence (or extended tornado outbreak) is a period of continuous or near-continuous high tornado activity consisting of a series of tornado outbreaks. Major tornado outbreak sequences occurred in May 1917, 1930, 1949, and 2003. Tornado outbreak sequences tend to dominate the tornado statistics for a year and often cause a spike in tornado numbers for the entire year as a whole.
