~272 Confirmed Tornadoes so far for 2012
As of 05/16z:
Of the 403 preliminary reports of tornadoes received through the first 95 days of 2012, at least 272 have been verified by either trained spotters or post-storm damage assessments by the NWS. The final tally will be calculated by the National Weather Service and released during the coming months. For some perspective, the 20-year average for the first three months of the year (a threshold which we've crossed only five days ago) is 144 tornadoes.
