The numbers appear to be a function of improvemements in detection technology.

My AI
Illinois State Climatologist analyses emphasize that the upward signal in raw counts is primarily a detection artifact, not evidence of climate-driven change in frequency.

"The large majority of “extra”
tornadoes identified by improved
technology are weak, which is why EF-
0 tornadoes are commonly excluded
in historical trend analysis."

it's a recession when your neighbor is unemployed, it's a depression when you are unemployed.
It's cyclical when the tornado hits someone else's house, it's climate change when your house gets hit twice in 3 years.

Champaign had at least 2 tornado warnings yesterday, maybe 3. Part of it is advanced Doppler radar detection, but there were years they didn't get three..
