About 60 people have died in tornadoes in 2023, two to three times higher than all of 2022, when 23 people died.
Tornado deaths in recent years — while high at times — pale compared to numbers from the past. Brooks’s research indicates that tornadoes death rates averaged 1.8 people per million from 1875 to 1925 but are now just 0.16 per million. That’s about a 90 percent reduction. The decline in tornado death rates reflects improved tornado warnings and responses.Historically, April is the deadliest month for tornadoes, followed by May.
“In the last 70 years, about 12 have had more than half of the deaths for the year before the end of March,” Brooks said. “Just because there are a lot of fatalities in March doesn’t necessarily mean this will be really huge death toll year.” But tornado fatalities can leap in April and May. Through the first week of April in 2011, there were only three tornado deaths. By the end of the month, it was past 350, and theBrooks said 2011 was “by far the biggest death toll in my lifetime, but an average year for my great-grandparents.”
As the United States heads deeper into peak tornado season, the next week to 10 days should feature a quieter weather pattern. After that, the raging thunderstorms of spring may return.
