Spring has officially arrived in the Northern Hemisphere and the tornado season, especially in the U.S. east of the Rockies, has been ramping up. From March 13-17, over 100 twisters were reported that included three EF4 storms. Two dozen people were killed as tornadoes were spotted across 14 states from Illinois southward into Arkansas and into the Gulf Coast region.
Southern California has also seen tornado activity in 2025. Since the beginning of the year, there have been three twisters, two of them an EF0, the lowest on the intensity scale, and another one of underdetermined strength.
