Minnesota Tornado Leader in 2010

[John Hudson]

Just caught a report that Minnesota had the most tornadoes in 2010, beating the Lone Star State 145-105. The totals are still subject to the review of the National Climate Data Center, but any changes to the numbers will probably be small.

And they say you shouldn't mess with Texas

Article from NWS Central Region Headquarters about the Minnesota Tornadoes of 2010.....

The numbers did change and change significantly, from a preliminary number of 145 all the way down to a final number of 104.

Texas still has a shot at eclipsing the number 104 depending on what the final numbers for Texas turn out to be. Otherwise, it will likely be Minnesota wining the tornado by state count for 2010.

I always like to compare the square miles of states and tornadoes.

Texas: Land Area: 261,797 square miles
Minnesota: Land Area: 79,610 square miles
Source: US Census

Texas is 3 times larger than Minnesota.
Texas is the 2nd largest state in terms of land area, only Alaska is bigger.
Everything is bigger in Texas. LOL.

Wow, thanks for pointing me to that report. I wonder how things can change so drastically?

I stand corrected. Actually, I'm sitting.

That's a rather dubious distinction......unless you are a storm chaser from Minnesota
