Preliminary data from the National Weather Service indicate that in 2022 there were 1,331 tornados, slightly up from the numbers in 2021. USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey says there are reasons for the uptick
Tornadoes were reported in every month in Kansas last year, and as we get closer to spring, the likelihood of severe weather increases. Rippey believes there will be another increase in tornadoes this year, in Kansas and nationwide.
