• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

At a Glance
  • The preliminary tornado count from April 2020 was among the most on record in April.
  • April 2020 had about one-third more tornadoes than average.
  • The Easter Sunday and Monday outbreak contributed to over half the month's tornadoes.
  • April 2011 still had almost three times the tornadoes of April 2020.

The number of tornadoes in the U.S. in April 2020 was among the most for any April in 70 years of records, according to data compiled by the National Weather Service and weather.com.

Culling through the list of tornadoes confirmed by National Weather Service damage surveys and those documented by video or photos, we estimate at least 256 tornadoes touched down in the U.S. in April 2020.

If this total holds, it would be the fourth most of any April on record since 1950, slightly behind the count from 2019.
