Has anyone seen a tornado in every month?

[Derek Weston]

Who on here owns the record for seeing tornadoes in the most months?
(we're talking live action here -- on video doesn't count )

I'm doubting we have many -- really, any -- with 12 months under their belts.

I've seen one in April, and that's it.

And you? (we'll get the obvious months -- but it'll be interesting to hear adventures from the "off season")

(FWIW, I've always enjoyed the idea of bagging a tornado in an odd month, or odd local... seems like much more an accomplishment)

I've seen tornadoes in: Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, & Sept.

The first tornado I have ever seen (not exactly chasing) was in April of 2001 if I remember right.

My first major (F2+) tornadic intercept was on Sept 16 2006 in SE South Dakota. My most memorable chase that wasn't even "in season".

I saw my first tornado in July of 2002 in southcentral MI... So, I have seen tornadoes in March, May, June and July.

We did this one not that long ago(think this year) but it was within another kind of post I think. I think Reed Timmer was the closest...not very shocking. Think he was only missing one or two months. You'd think someone out there would have it, but I really wouldn't be surprised if no one does.

I've got... March, April, May, June, July, August, October, and November. Shouldn't be too hard to add February and September, but man those other two will be tough.

April, May, June, July, and December for me. In fact, my first chase tornado was December 23, 1996. Took down some big trees and unroofed a couple houses, while leaving Christmas decorations on a nearby fence untouched.

I'm halfway there, with one very difficult month outta the way (January). Might take the rest of my life but I can get them all....cause I've missed tornadoes in all the months I don't have yet

At this point I am at: Feb/Mar/Apr/May/Jun/Jul/Aug/Sep/Oct/Dec...The December tornado wasn't on a chase, it was Dec 5th, 1975, when I was still a wee lad in Tulsa...watched it from a neighbors driveway in my jammies.

July, August, and December are my last ones remaining at least for my chase career. I am hoping to get July and August out of the way this year if I can get one of those good nw flow type events up in Iowa, South Dakota, or Minnesota. December would mean a risky trip to Arkansas (where I did get a few decent January tornadoes back in 1999 I might add).
