Over the weekend the Storm Prediction Center had 63 reports of tornadoes. This is all preliminary data that will be analyzed but as you can tell from the initial reports, it was an active severe weather weekend. KOLD News 13 partners with The Weather Channel to give you the latest information on severe weather across the country. In fact the data crunchers at The Weather Channel say that through January 1st to May 11th, 636 tornadoes have been reported. (Again this is preliminary data that will likely change a little once all is said and done.) Since record keeping began in 1950, this is a close second to the most active year for this time period which was 1999 with 669 tornadoes reported. As of May 11th the death toll is 98 people. This is the highest it was been since 1998 and the 7th deadliest since 1950. One town in Oklahoma, hit hard by the weekend storms, may not rebuild. Check out this
