MS Tornado Count
Final Tornado Count for Mississippi
ranging from Jan 1, to Dec 31, 2008 (Previous Record was 99
set in 2005)
It is important to note that much more detailed
surveys of damage are conducted now than in past years, and thus
many more tornadoes are discovered today that would have went
unreported as recently as 10 years ago. Therefore, direct comparisons
of the numbers of tornadoes now versus years in the 20th century
are not possible, and it is quite plausible that a number of very
active years in the 1960s and 1970s would have had more tornadoes
than 2008 had damage surveys been conducted in the same way then
as they are today.
