Though it may be hard to believe, severe weather season is around the corner

Weather Watch ...from the A.M.

It may be hard to believe the spring season is right around the corner with all of the snow and cold temperatures we’ve seen, but is it time to start talking about the upcoming severe weather season.

I thought it would be interesting to start off talking about the upcoming season with stories from you. Please share you worst weather and scariest weather stories in the comments below. I’ve also included a few facts about the 2009 Kansas severe weather season, below.

-Kansas saw the most tornadoes (21) in one day on June 15th.

-Kansas had the most tornadoes (46) during the month of June. (This is the 4th highest June on record.)

-During the 2000s, Kansas had 1,192 confirmed tornadoes, compared to 789 confirmed tornadoes in the 1990s. (Note I said confirmed, for rural areas there may be several tornadoes that are never reported due to the lack of a spotter to actually report the tornado.)

Again, please share your severe weather stories below. We will have more tornado facts and safety tips in upcoming blogs.
