I used to live in western Ohio, and you are certainly right. Its WAY too early for this weather. Another month is when it should start.
AS OF 134 PM THE FOLLOWING STATISTICS WERE GATHERED ON CONFIRMATION
TORNADOES 056 TORNADOES 007 MAJOR TORNADOES 115 ACCOUNTS
...
OFFICIALLY THIS SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS CLASSED AS MINOR. AS THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH TORNADOES CONFIRMED ON THE GROUND.
FUNNEL CLOUDS DO NOT ENTER OFFICIAL TORNADIC COUNTS DUE TO THE ISOLATED CONDITIONS OF EACH..HOWEVER NOAA HAS CALCULATED
AT LEAST 43 FUNNEL CLOUDS THAT DID NOT TOUCH DOWN. THIS BRINGS AN OVERALL COUNT OF 99 TORNADIC THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
CHARTS. WHILE THIS WAS A MAJOR EVENT. THESE NUMBERS DO NOT WARRANT AN INVESTIGATIVE PROOF OF A SIGNIFICANT OR SEVERE
OUTBREAK.
A TOTAL OF 11 DEATHS AND AT LEAST 3000 INJURIES HAVE BEEN COUNTED AND TOLLED SO FAR...AND AN ADDITIONAL NOTE OF AT LEAST
ANOTHER 1000 MISSING IN MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS. NOAA AND FEMA HAVE CONFIRMED AT LEAST 56,000 WITHOUT POWER IN MISSOURI AS
AN APPARENT TORNADO HAD DEMOLISHED A POWER FACILITY. EMERGENCY MANAGERS ACROSS THE REGION ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FURTHER
INTO THE FAILURE OF WARNING ALARM SYSTEMS IN EASTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI. AT LEAST 13000 ARE HOMELESS ACCORDING
TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE REGION...FURTHER INVESTIGATION WILL TOLL THE NUMBERS AT THE END OF THIS
MONTH.
...
NOAA WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK INTO THE SEVERE WEATHER REPORTS AS THEY ARE RECEIVED AS IT MAY TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 7 DAYS TO
TALLY AND CONFIRM ALL REPORTS. A SEVERE WEATHER SITREP WILL BE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE MONTH COVERING THIS SITUATION
AND OTHERS WHICH MAY OCCUR LATER THIS MONTH.
