No Tornado-Related Deaths Have Occurred in the U.S. For a Record 240+ Days
Tornadoes typically grab headlines for the destruction they cause, but we have some good news to report this time: No tornado-related deaths have occurred in the United States for a record number of consecutive days.
The last tornado fatalities were reported on May 16, 2017, in Wisconsin and Texas.
Since then, 245 days (as of Jan. 16) have gone by without a twister taking a life, easily besting the previous record-long streak of 219 days set June 25, 2012-Jan. 29, 2013. Before that, the record was a 197-day span that ended Feb. 28, 1987.
