    The chart is a bit skewed due to one catastrophic event in 1925. But there have been plenty of other aciive years as well and the trend is unmistakeably down.

    That is despite a huge increase in population and a large number of people now living in mobile homes, which are death traps in a tornado.

    Better warnings may be a factor, but with so many false alarms, that is hard to say.

    I don’t see much use in tracking fatalities because IMO, the reason they are dropping has to do with both better weather tracking/forecasting and better communications.

    Just my 2 cents…
