None of the years on that list really surprise me, except for how the heck did 2018 get to the No. 3 spot? I recall that as being an extremely slow chase season for pretty much the entire Plains/Midwest, making a modest comeback in the High Plains in June but nothing dramatic. Otherwise, there were a few moderate events throughout the year like March 19 (Jacksonville, AL EF3) and the December 1 central IL outbreak, but I can't think of anything that would have put it in the top 10, let alone get to over 1,800 tornadoes. What am I forgetting?

Hey I'm sorry. My total numbers were off somehow. 2018 wasn't suppose to be included. I have no idea how that happened. I absolutely hate it when I post something and find out it's incorrect. Makes me look dumb.

According to wiki 51 tornadoes have been confirmed for 12/28. 4 of the EF2'S and 2 EF3'S. Yet, you had some idiots calling this a big Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency.
This tornado outbreak certainly had the hallmarks of a high risk. Also the tornado near Port Arthur may have been on the ground for over 100 miles.

It was a Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency for supercells in LA and MS minus a storm or 2. Not the hallmarks of a tornado high risk no.
