Tornadoes threaten our communities every year.
They can occur throughout the U.S. in any season, and at any time of day. Currently unknown and an area of concern is the type of storms from which tornadoes form. Yet, recent studies have brought forth the question of how many tornadoes form within other storm types, such as squall lines or hurricane rainbands. A related question regards possible relationships between parent storm type and tornado intensity. We will present the frequency of the tornadoes by the parent storm type for the 12-month period.
