"Across the country, May was quietest month for tornadoes in 60 years"; warm weather blamed

I'm going to come right out and say it: I'm starting to seriously doubt that I can prevent tornadoes by riding my bicycle.

Across the country, May was quietest month for tornadoes in 60 years | Wichita Eagle

Although it’s been an active tornado season in Kansas, the rest of Tornado Alley has been remarkably quiet.

In fact, preliminary numbers indicate the tornado tally nationwide in May was the lowest in 60 years.

The tentative national total for tornadoes in May is 110, well below the 10-year average of 300.

For just the 15th time since records began being kept in 1875, there were no deaths caused by tornadoes in May anywhere in the U.S.

The unusually quiet May can be blamed on temperatures that were much warmer than normal throughout spring in Tornado Alley, said Harold Brooks, a research meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla.

The only problem is that Kerry is either wrong or lying. According to Earth & Sky, there are "no scientific studies solidly relate climatic global temperature trends to tornadoes." Given Kerry's history, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he's lying.
