The number of tornadoes, and the number of tornado outbreaks, is not increasing. But what IS increasing is the number of tornadoes occurring in outbreaks.
OK. I must be having a brain fart.....or maybe just a bad day.
IF.....
x = the total number of tornado's
y = the number of tornado outbreaks
Then x divided by y would EQUAL the number of tornado's occurring in each outbreak. If the average number of tornado's per outbreak is INCREASING.....but the total number of tornado's is NOT increasing.....then the number of outbreaks has to DECREASE.
Am I missing something? Should I go back to sleep? Am I on drugs.....or ALL OF THE ABOVE?
