Who knew tornado season would be starting in January this year?
A terrible night across the South. 24 reports of tornadoes in the last 24 hours across Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
The National Weather Service says an EF2 caused extensive damage in Fordyce AR, with winds of up to 135 mph.
Last year tornado ravaged the country during the early months of the year. Overall 552 people died, the second worst death toll in US recorded history. Last year in January we had 29 reports of tornadoes with 16 confirmed. This year we have had 26 reported to date with 21 confirmed. The New Normal strikes again. This is not a comforting thought as we head closer to the peak of tornado season this coming spring.
